Default Parameters for MySQLClusMembTest

This test monitors the current status of each node in the target MySQL cluster and also reports whether/not the node is a primary node. Using this test, administrators can proactively figure out error-prone nodes, nodes that are unreachable and nodes that are removed/missing and take corrective actions for those nodes to be available.

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

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

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

• To monitor MySQL Cluster database server, the eG agent should be configured with the credentials of a user with server-wide PROCESS and SELECT privileges on the monitored MySQL Cluster database server. To know how to create such a user, refer to Pre-requisites for Monitoring the MySQL Cluster Database Server topic. Specify the name and password of such a user in the USER NAME and PASSWORD text boxes.

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

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

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with “$” indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to “xyz*” and $port will be changed to “80” when configuring a test.
