Configuration of MySQLWrkLdTest

At configured intervals, this test reports the maximum number of internal on-disk temporary tables created by the server while executing statements. This test also reports how long did a query take for execution and how long did a query spend waiting for table locks. In addition, this test also throws light on the count of table scans that happened on the database server instance. Using the detailed diagnostics of this test, administrators can figure out inefficient queries and proceed to optimize them to enhance server performance.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the MySQLWrkLdTest test.

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

• In the HOST text box, specify the host for which the test is to be configured.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port used by the Citrix server. By default, it is 1494.

• In the DATABASE text box, specify the name of a database on the target MySQL database server being monitored

• The eG agent has to be configured with the credentials of a user who has server-wide Process in the USERNAME and PASSWORD parameters and Select privileges on the monitored MySQL server. To know how to create such a user, refer to Configuring the eG Agent with Access Privileges topic. Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability

  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to 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.
