Template MySQL didn't get result in Zabbix

I'm planning to use Temple MySQL to monitor MySQL detail instances. Unfortunatelly I can't get result. What am I still missing in configuration. Check it out zabbix-agent log those are piece of log not the whole log.

Solution

  • 1. Add special user for MySQL:

    example:

    GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'zabbix'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'superpassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

    2. Add user params into zabbix-agent configuration

    Edit /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf

    UserParameter=mysql.version,mysql -V
UserParameter=mysql.status[*],echo "show global status where Variable_name='$1';" | HOME=/etc/zabbix mysql -N | awk '{print $$2}'
UserParameter=mysql.ping,HOME=/etc/zabbix mysqladmin ping | grep -c alive
# 'sum' on data_length or index_length alone needed when we are getting this information for whole database instead of a single table
UserParameter=mysql.size[*],echo "select sum($(case "$3" in both|"") echo "data_length+index_length";; data|index) echo "$3_length";; free) echo "data_free";; esac)) from information_schema.tables$([[ "$1" = "all" || ! "$1" ]] || echo " where table_schema='$1'")$([[ "$2" = "all" || ! "$2" ]] || echo "and table_name='$2'");" | HOME=/etc/zabbix mysql -N

    if you want to extend monitoring items just add another UserParameter with proper SQL-query

    3. Add auth-file for MySQL:

    create .my.cnf file into /etc/zabbix/

    [client]
user = zabbix
password = superpassword

    4. Restart agent (and zabbix-proxy if you use it)
