Configuration of MySqlRecCntTest

This test automatically discovers those tables in a given database that contain more than a configured number of records, and reports the number of records fetched from each such table.

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 the test is to be configured.

  • Specify the port on which the server is listening in the PORT text box.

  • Specify the name of a database on the server in the DB text box.

  • The eG agent has to be configured with the credentials of a user who is authorized to login to the target MySQL server, and who has access rights to the DB specified in the DB text box. Therefore provide the credentials of such user in the USER and PASSWORD text boxes. To know how to create a user with the privilege to connect to the target MySQL server, refer to Section 6.1.1 of the Monitoring Database Servers document.

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

  • In the TABLE ROWS text box, specify the number of records beyond which this test will consider a table as a large table.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box 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.
