Default Parameters for MySQLTabSpcTest

The MySQL Tablespaces test auto-discovers the tablespaces managed by the target MySQL database server, and reports how well each tablespace is utilized. Using this test, you will be able to instantly identify the tablespace left with very little free space.

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

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to choose how often should the test be executed.

• 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 and Select privileges on the monitored MySQL server. Specify the credentials of such a user in the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes. To know how to create such a user, refer to Configuring the eG Agent with Access Privileges topic in the Monitoring MySQL Server document.

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

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