MYSQL Monitoring

the mysql integration delivers near real time health and performance metrics for your mysql databases these metrics are visualized using a built in dashboard, and you can configure alerts to notify your team about important mysql conditions mysql monitoring in kloudmate helps you observe the health, performance, and behavior of your mysql databases by collecting metrics and logs using the kloudmate agent powered by opentelemetry this enables centralized monitoring of mysql instances running on aws ec2, azure virtual machines, or on premise servers mysql integration using kloudmate agents what this integration provides with mysql monitoring enabled, kloudmate collects telemetry that provides visibility into • buffer pool usage and operations • connection handling and thread states • innodb row locks, double writes, and log operations • index i/o waits and table operations • query execution, sorts, and temporary resources • mysql server uptime and opened resources • slow query logs and error logs this visibility helps identify buffer pool inefficiencies, connection bottlenecks, innodb performance issues, and slow query problems pre requisites before configuring mysql monitoring, ensure the following mysql version 8 0 or mariadb 10 11 is installed and running refer to the mysql documentation for supported versions and configuration requirements the monitoring user must have permission to execute show global status to collect query samples, performance schema must be enabled and the monitoring user must be granted access `grant select on performance schema to \<your user>@'%';` kloudmate agent installed on the mysql host refer to agent installation for https //docs kloudmate com/linux agent or https //docs kloudmate com/windows agent mysql username and password for authentication mysql logs must be enabled from configurations step 1 access agents and opentelemetry collector configuration log in to the kloudmate platform go to settings → agents select the agent running on the mysql host click actions → collector configuration yaml editor opens for configuration step 2 add required extensions and receivers extensions extensions file storage create directory true receivers two receivers are used mysql receiver – collects metrics file log receiver – collects logs (general, error, slow queries) if you only need metrics, configure only the mysql receiver receivers mysql endpoint localhost 3306 username root #change the username password 'yourstr0ngpassword!' #change the password collection interval 60s initial delay 1s statement events

timestamp step 3 configure processors set up the processor component to identify resource information from the host and either append or replace the resource values in the telemetry data with this information choose one configuration based on where mysql is running server (on premise / non cloud / cloud) processors batch send batch size 5000 timeout 10s resourcedetection detectors \[system]

verbosity detailed otlphttp endpoint 'https //otel kloudmate com 4318' headers authorization xxxxxxxx # use the auth key service pipelines metrics receivers \[mysql] processors \[batch,

the correct resourcedetection exporters \[otlphttp] extensions \[health check, pprof, zpages, file storage] step 5 save configuration and restart agent after updating the configuration, click save configuration in the kloudmate ui these commands restart the kloudmate agent and display its current status for windows open the services window press win + r , type services msc , and press ok or search for services from the start menu locate the kloudmate agent service right click the service and select restart after restarting the agent, verify that mysql metrics and logs are visible in the kloudmate dashboard post‑integration data validation verify that metrics are flowing into kloudmate using the explore view after the agent restarts log in to kloudmate navigate to explore select opentelemetry → metrics choose a mysql metric and run the query seeing time series data confirms that mysql telemetry is flowing successfully standard mysql dashboards kloudmate provides prebuilt mysql dashboards through https //templates kloudmate com/mysql/index html these dashboards visualize mysql database performance, query operations, connections, and resource usage to import and start using these templates, follow the steps described in https //docs kloudmate com/creating a dashboard#sfk3g default metrics metric name description mysql operations total operations including fsync, reads and writes mysql buffer pool data pages number of data pages for an innodb buffer pool mysql buffer pool limit configured size of the innodb buffer pool mysql buffer pool operations number of
