The MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent is configured through files located within the
etc directory within the directory where you
installed the agent.
Configuration is stored in multiple files, according to a
predetermined file and directory layout. The primary configuration
file contains specific information about the agent and how the
agent communicates with MySQL Enterprise Service Manager. The main configuration is
located within the mysql-monitor-agent.ini
file.
Additional configuration files contain information about the MySQL
server that is being monitored. You can configure which directory
is used for storing this information within the
mysql-monitor-agent.ini file. The default
location is the etc/instances directory
within the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent directory.
The server you want to monitor should have a directory within the
specified location, optionally using the name of the server you
are monitoring, and within that directory, an
agent-instance.ini file. This file contains
the configuration information for connecting to the MySQL server,
including the host name, port, user credentials and display name.
You can see an example of the file layout of the
etc directory:
. ./init.d ./init.d/mysql-monitor-agent ./instances ./instances/agent ./instances/agent/agent-instance.ini ./mysql-monitor-agent.ini
For more information on the configuration of the
mysql-monitor-agent.ini file, see
Section 2.3.6.1, “MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent (mysql-monitor-agent.ini)
Configuration”. For details on
the content of the individual MySQL instance configuration files,
see Section 2.3.6.2, “MySQL Server (agent-instance.ini) Configuration”.
