# netdata python.d.plugin configuration for mysql # # This file is in YaML format. Generally the format is: # # name: value # # There are 2 sections: # - global variables # - one or more JOBS # # JOBS allow you to collect values from multiple sources. # Each source will have its own set of charts. # # JOB parameters have to be indented (using spaces only, example below). # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Global Variables # These variables set the defaults for all JOBs, however each JOB # may define its own, overriding the defaults. # update_every sets the default data collection frequency. # If unset, the python.d.plugin default is used. # update_every: 1 # priority controls the order of charts at the netdata dashboard. # Lower numbers move the charts towards the top of the page. # If unset, the default for python.d.plugin is used. # priority: 60000 # retries sets the number of retries to be made in case of failures. # If unset, the default for python.d.plugin is used. # Attempts to restore the service are made once every update_every # and only if the module has collected values in the past. # retries: 5 # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # JOBS (data collection sources) # # The default JOBS share the same *name*. JOBS with the same name # are mutually exclusive. Only one of them will be allowed running at # any time. This allows autodetection to try several alternatives and # pick the one that works. # # Any number of jobs is supported. # # All python.d.plugin JOBS (for all its modules) support a set of # predefined parameters. These are: # # job_name: # name: myname # the JOB's name as it will appear at the # # dashboard (by default is the job_name) # # JOBs sharing a name are mutually exclusive # update_every: 1 # the JOB's data collection frequency # priority: 60000 # the JOB's order on the dashboard # retries: 5 # the JOB's number of restoration attempts # # Additionally to the above, mysql also supports the following: # # socket: 'path/to/mysql.sock' # # or # host: 'IP or HOSTNAME' # the host to connect to # port: PORT # the port to connect to # # in all cases, the following can also be set: # # user: 'username' # the mysql username to use # pass: 'password' # the mysql password to use # # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # mySQL CONFIGURATION # # netdata does not need any privilege - only the ability to connect # to the mysql server (netdata will not be able to see any data). # # Execute these commands to give the local user 'netdata' the ability # to connect to the mysql server on localhost, without a password: # # > create user 'netdata'@'localhost'; # > grant usage on *.* to 'netdata'@'localhost' with grant option; # > flush privileges; # # with the above statements, netdata will be able to gather mysql # statistics, without the ability to see or alter any data or affect # mysql operation in any way. No change is required below. # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- # AUTO-DETECTION JOBS # only one of them will run (they have the same name) mycnf1: name : 'local' 'my.cnf' : '/etc/my.cnf' mycnf2: name : 'local' 'my.cnf' : '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' debiancnf: name : 'local' 'my.cnf' : '/etc/mysql/debian.cnf' socket1: name : 'local' # user : '' # pass : '' socket : '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' socket2: name : 'local' # user : '' # pass : '' socket : '/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock' socket3: name : 'local' # user : '' # pass : '' socket : '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' socket4: name : 'local' # user : '' # pass : '' socket : '/tmp/mysql.sock' tcp: name : 'local' # user : '' # pass : '' host : 'localhost' port : '3306' # keep in mind port might be ignored by mysql, if host = 'localhost' # http://serverfault.com/questions/337818/how-to-force-mysql-to-connect-by-tcp-instead-of-a-unix-socket/337844#337844 tcpipv4: name : 'local' # user : '' # pass : '' host : '127.0.0.1' port : '3306' tcpipv6: name : 'local' # user : '' # pass : '' host : '::1' port : '3306' # Now we try the same as above with user: root # A few systems configure mysql to accept passwordless # root access. mycnf1_root: name : 'local' user : 'root' 'my.cnf' : '/etc/my.cnf' mycnf2_root: name : 'local' user : 'root' 'my.cnf' : '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' socket1_root: name : 'local' user : 'root' # pass : '' socket : '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' socket2_root: name : 'local' user : 'root' # pass : '' socket : '/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock' socket3_root: name : 'local' user : 'root' # pass : '' socket : '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' socket4_root: name : 'local' user : 'root' # pass : '' socket : '/tmp/mysql.sock' tcp_root: name : 'local' user : 'root' # pass : '' host : 'localhost' port : '3306' # keep in mind port might be ignored by mysql, if host = 'localhost' # http://serverfault.com/questions/337818/how-to-force-mysql-to-connect-by-tcp-instead-of-a-unix-socket/337844#337844 tcpipv4_root: name : 'local' user : 'root' # pass : '' host : '127.0.0.1' port : '3306' tcpipv6_root: name : 'local' user : 'root' # pass : '' host : '::1' port : '3306' # Now we try the same as above with user: netdata mycnf1_netdata: name : 'local' user : 'netdata' 'my.cnf' : '/etc/my.cnf' mycnf2_netdata: name : 'local' user : 'netdata' 'my.cnf' : '/etc/mysql/my.cnf' socket1_netdata: name : 'local' user : 'netdata' # pass : '' socket : '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' socket2_netdata: name : 'local' user : 'netdata' # pass : '' socket : '/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock' socket3_netdata: name : 'local' user : 'netdata' # pass : '' socket : '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' socket4_netdata: name : 'local' user : 'netdata' # pass : '' socket : '/tmp/mysql.sock' tcp_netdata: name : 'local' user : 'netdata' # pass : '' host : 'localhost' port : '3306' # keep in mind port might be ignored by mysql, if host = 'localhost' # http://serverfault.com/questions/337818/how-to-force-mysql-to-connect-by-tcp-instead-of-a-unix-socket/337844#337844 tcpipv4_netdata: name : 'local' user : 'netdata' # pass : '' host : '127.0.0.1' port : '3306' tcpipv6_netdata: name : 'local' user : 'netdata' # pass : '' host : '::1' port : '3306'
