The Advisors interpret the data sent by the Monitor Agents and display the results in the dashboard. A minimal set of Advisors are preinstalled with the Service Manager. To obtain the full set of Advisors and get the most value from the MySQL Enterprise Monitor, you must download Advisors from MySQL Enterprise.

If you did not install the Advisors when you first logged in to the MySQL Enterprise Dashboard, open the dashboard, find the Advisors tab, and choose the Check for Updates link. Doing this downloads the latest version of the Advisors from the MySQL Enterprise web site. In order to install the advisors in this fashion you must specify your MySQL Enterprise credentials. Find instructions for doing this in Section 5.1, “Global Settings”.

If you do not allow Internet access from the dashboard, you must install the Advisors from a local file. To do this you need an advisor file bearing the name, AdvisorScript-version.jar. If you don't already have this file, you can find it on the MySQL Enterprise downloads page. Download the Advisors file to a location that is accessible from the dashboard. Use the Browse button to find the Advisors file and then choose import to load the advisors.
