# 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: 7.0 and higher.

## Tested versions

This template has been tested on:
- MySQL 5.7, 8.0
- Percona 8.0
- MariaDB 10.4, 10.6.8

## Configuration

> Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the [Templates out of the box](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.0/manual/config/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 `template_db_mysql.conf` into the folder with Zabbix agent configuration (`/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/` by default). Don't forget to restart Zabbix agent.
3. Create a MySQL user for monitoring (`<password>` at your discretion):

```text
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 https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/grant.html

4. Create `.my.cnf` in the home directory of Zabbix agent for Linux (`/var/lib/zabbix` by default ) or `my.cnf` in c:\ for Windows. The file must have three strings:

```text
[client]
user='zbx_monitor'
password='<password>'
```
NOTE: Use systemd to start Zabbix agent on Linux OS.
For example, in Centos use "systemctl edit zabbix-agent.service" to set the required user to start the Zabbix agent.

Add the rule to the SELinux policy (example for Centos):

```text
# 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
```

Innodb_log_file_size is the size in bytes of the each InnoDB redo log file in the log group. The combined size can be no more than 512GB. Larger values mean less disk I/O due to less flushing checkpoint activity, but also slower recovery from a crash.</p>|Calculated|mysql.innodb_log_file_size<p>**Preprocessing**</p><ul><li><p>Discard unchanged with heartbeat: `6h`</p></li></ul>|
