MySQL performance plugin

(No Ratings Yet)

Loading...

This plugin uses mysql to fetch the performance metrics from a mysql server.

To install it:

1. Verify that your system has mysql installed: $ mysql -V
2. Download the file “mysql_plugin”.
3. Copy it to your agent plugins directory. F.ex. on my system in “/etc/pandora/plugins”.
4. Make it executable: $ chmod +x /etc/pandora/plugins/mysql_plugin

To use it you need a mysql user, for that I create a user with only select privileges:

mysql> GRANT SELECT ON *.* to (user)@localhost identified by '(password)';

NOTE: Maybe less privileges are needed, but NEVER user the mysql root account.

Then just call it from the config file of your agent with the following line:

"module_plugin memory_plugin (user) (password)"

For more plugin options or change warning and critical levels see its code.
