It connects to the MySQL instance via a TCP or UNIX socket and executes the following commands: Executed queries: `SELECT VERSION();` `SHOW GLOBAL STATUS;` `SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES;` `SHOW SLAVE STATUS;` or `SHOW ALL SLAVES STATUS;` (MariaDBv10.2+) or `SHOW REPLICA STATUS;` (MySQL 8.0.22+) `SHOW USER_STATISTICS;` (MariaDBv10.1.1+) `SELECT TIME,USER FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST;` This collector is supported on all platforms. This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances. By default, it detects instances running on localhost by trying to connect as root and netdata using known MySQL TCP and UNIX sockets: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock 127.0.0.1:3306 "[::1]:3306" The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection. The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system. Metrics grouped by scope. The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels. These metrics refer to the entire monitored application. This scope has no labels.

This occurs in cases of multiple membership changes that result in a loss of Quorum or in cases of split-brain situations. | A user account should have the following : To create the `netdata` user with these permissions, execute the following in the MySQL shell: ```mysql CREATE USER 'netdata'@'localhost'; GRANT USAGE, REPLICATION CLIENT, PROCESS ON . TO 'netdata'@'localhost'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; ``` The `netdata` user will have the ability to connect to the MySQL server on localhost without a password. It will only be able to gather statistics without being able to alter or affect operations in any way. The configuration file name for this integration is `go.d/mysql.conf`. You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the Netdata . ```bash cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata sudo ./edit-config go.d/mysql.conf ``` The following options can be defined globally: updateevery, autodetectionretry. <details><summary>Config options</summary> | Name | Description | Default | Required | |:-|:--|:-|:--:| | update_every | Data collection frequency. | 5 | no | | autodetection_retry | Recheck interval in seconds.

The output should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working. Navigate to the `plugins.d` directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the `plugins` setting under `[directories]`. ```bash cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/ ``` Switch to the `netdata` user. ```bash sudo -u netdata -s ``` Run the `go.d.plugin` to debug the collector: ```bash ./go.d.plugin -d -m mysql ```
