Configuration of MySQLInstanceStTest

This test monitors the target database instance and reports whether or not the instance is part of a cluster.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • Specify Host name of the server for which the test is to be configured in the HOST text box.

  • Specify the port to which the specified host listens in the PORT text box.

  • Specify the name of a database on the target MySQL database server being monitored in the DATABASE text box.

  • The eG agent has to be configured with the credentials of a user who has server-wide Process and Select privileges on the monitored MySQL server in the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes. To know how to create such a user, refer to Click here.

  • Confirm the PASSWORD by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS button will appear in this page. Clicking on this button will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
