Default Parameters for MySQLRpSlvStTest

This test auto-discovers the replica servers/slaves connected to the target MySQL database server instance and reports whether/not each replica server/slave is in sync with the master MySQL database server instance.

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

• 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 IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.

• 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. To know how to create such a user, refer to Pre-requisites for Monitoring the MySQL Server topic in the Monitoring MySQL Server document.

• In the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box, retype the password.

• 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.
