Configuration of MySQLCluActTest

This test tracks the writes, inserts, deletes, and flushes happening on each node in the target MySQL Cluster database server. Using this test, administrators can easily isolate error-prone nodes and can proactively analyze the reason behind errors noticed on the node.

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.

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

• In the PORT text box, specify the port at which the target host is listening.

• 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.

• 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.
