Mysql

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system. Its name is a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael Widenius`s daughter, and "SQL", the abbreviation for Structured Query Language.

MySQL by Zabbix agent

Overview

This template is designed for the effortless deployment of MySQL monitoring by Zabbix via Zabbix agent and doesn't require any external scripts.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 8.0 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • MySQL 5.7, 8.0, 8.4.7, 9.4

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

  1. Install Zabbix agent and MySQL client. If necessary, add the path to the mysql and mysqladmin utilities to the global environment variable PATH.
  2. Copy the template_db_mysql.conf file with user parameters into folder with Zabbix agent configuration (/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/ by default). Don't forget to restart Zabbix agent.
  3. Create the MySQL user that will be used for monitoring (<password> at your discretion). For example:
CREATE USER 'zbx_monitor'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
GRANT REPLICATION CLIENT,PROCESS,SHOW DATABASES,SHOW VIEW ON *.* TO 'zbx_monitor'@'%';

For more information, please see MySQL documentation.

  1. Create .my.cnf configuration file in the home directory of Zabbix agent for Linux distributions (/var/lib/zabbix by default) or my.cnf in c:\ for Windows. For example:
[client]
protocol=tcp
user='zbx_monitor'
password='<password>'

For more information, please see MySQL documentation.

NOTE: Linux distributions that use SELinux may require additional steps for access configuration.

For example, the following rule could be added to the SELinux policy:

# cat <<EOF > zabbix_home.te
module zabbix_home 1.0;

require {
        type zabbix_agent_t;
        type zabbix_var_lib_t;
        type mysqld_etc_t;
        type mysqld_port_t;
        type mysqld_var_run_t;
        class file { open read };
        class tcp_socket name_connect;
        class sock_file write;
}

#============= zabbix_agent_t ==============

allow zabbix_agent_t zabbix_var_lib_t:file read;
allow zabbix_agent_t zabbix_var_lib_t:file open;
allow zabbix_agent_t mysqld_etc_t:file read;
allow zabbix_agent_t mysqld_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect;
allow zabbix_agent_t mysqld_var_run_t:sock_file write;
EOF
# checkmodule -M -m -o zabbix_home.mod zabbix_home.te
# semodule_package -o zabbix_home.pp -m zabbix_home.mod
# semodule -i zabbix_home.pp
# restorecon -R /var/lib/zabbix

Optionally, it is possible to customize the template:

  • The discovery of tables is disabled by default. To enable table discovery, change the value of the macro {$MYSQL.TABLE.NAMES.MATCHES} to the name of a single table, or use a regex string to include multiple tables.
  • You can also add an additional context macro {$MYSQL.TABLE.NAMES.MATCHES:<dbname>} for specific databases to precisely control which tables should be discovered.
  • To exclude certain tables from discovery, change the value of the macro {$MYSQL.TABLE.NAMES.NOT_MATCHES} to the name of a single table, or use a regex string to exclude multiple tables.
  • You can also add an additional context macro {$MYSQL.TABLE.NAMES.NOT_MATCHES:<dbname>} for specific databases to precisely control which tables should be excluded.

Calculated value of innodb_log_file_size

Innodb_log_file_size is calculated as: (innodb_os_log_written-innodb_os_log_written(time shift -1h))/{$MYSQL.INNODB_LOG_FILES}. Innodb_log_file_size is the size in bytes of each InnoDB redo log file in the log group. The combined size can be no more than 512 GB. Larger values mean less disk I/O due to less flushing checkpoint activity, but also slower recovery from a crash.

Item prototypes for Replication discovery

Name Description Type Key and additional info
Replication: Replica status {#MASTER_HOST}

Gets status information on the essential parameters of the replica threads.

 Zabbix agent mysql.slave_status["{$MYSQL.HOST}","{$MYSQL.PORT}","{#SQL_STATEMENT}"]

Preprocessing

  • JavaScript: The text is too long. Please see the template.
Replication: Replica SQL running state {#MASTER_HOST}

Shows the state of the SQL thread.

 Dependent item mysql.slave_sql_running_state["{#MASTER_HOST}"]

Preprocessing

  • XML XPath: /resultset/row/field[@name='Slave_SQL_Running_State']/text()

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 6h
Replication: Seconds behind source {#MASTER_HOST}

The number of seconds the replica SQL thread has been behind processing the source binary log.

A high number (or an increasing one) can indicate that the replica is unable to handle events

from the source in a timely fashion.

    ⛔️Custom on fail: Set error to: Replication is not performed.
Replication: Replica IO running {#MASTER_HOST}

Indicates whether the I/O thread for reading the source's binary log is running.

Normally, you want this to be Yes unless you have not yet started a replication or have

explicitly stopped it with STOP REPLICA.

Replication: Replica SQL running {#MASTER_HOST}

Indicates whether the SQL thread for executing events in the relay log is running.

As with the I/O thread, this should normally be Yes.

Describes the last I/O error message reported by the replica I/O thread that caused replication to stop or behave incorrectly.

Preprocessing

  • XML XPath: /resultset/row/field[@name='Last_IO_Error']/text()
