MySQL Enterprise Monitoring Agent Installation



Mysql monitor is the nagios of Database. It is especially useful when you have a bunch of mysql DB servers to manage.

http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/monitor.html

Here are 8 steps to enable the monitoring agent on the DB server. It is assumed that the monitor server is already configured and active on a server (for e.g. 10.10.10.63)

1) sudo root
2) download agent
3) Change file permissions
chmod +x mysqlmonitoragent-2.3.1.2044-linux-glibc2.3-x86-64bit-installer.bin

4) Run file
[root@localhost]# ./mysqlmonitoragent-2.3.1.2044-linux-glibc2.3-x86-64bit-installer.bin

5) Start agent
/etc/init.d/mysql-monitor-agent start

6) check status
ps -ef | grep monitor

7) check log
cat /opt/mysql/enterprise/agent/mysql-monitor-agent.log

8) create mysql user for e.g.
mysql> grant all on *.* to 'agent'@'%' identified by 'agent';

MySQL Architecture -Client Server Architecture

Client/Server Overview The MySQL database system operates using a client/server architecture. The server is a central program that manages database contents, and client programs connect to the server to retrieve or modify the data. MySQL also includes non-client utility programs and scripts. MySQL Server:   This is the mysqld program that manages database and tables. Most users choose binary MySQL distribution that includes a server ready to run with the capabilities they need, but it's also possible to compile MySQL from source. Client Programs:  These are programs that communicate with the server by sending requests to it over a network connection. The server acts on each request and returns a response to the client. For example you can use the mysql client to send queries to the server, and the server returns the query results. A client program can connect locally to a server running on the same machine or remotely to a server running on a different mac...
