- 2.3.6.2 MySQL Server (agent-instance.ini) Configuration

- 2.3.6.6 Generating a new UUID
For MySQL Enterprise Monitor to operate correctly, each agent must have a unique UUID in order to uniquely identify the agent with the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager.
Warning
Ensure that you do not reuse or duplicate a UUID. Running two agents with the same identification number yields unpredictable results
In Unix go to the command line and type:
shell> /opt/mysql/enterprise/agent/bin/mysql-monitor-agent --agent-generate-uuid
In Mac OS X go to the command line and type:
shell> /Applications/mysql/enterprise/agent/bin/mysql-monitor-agent --agent-generate-uuid
This should display a line similar to the following:
ee9296d7-f7cd-4fee-8b26-ead884ebf398
Paste this line into the [mysql-proxy]
section of the mysql-monitor-agent.ini file
for the agent-uuid parameter:
[mysql-proxy] ... agent-uuid=ee9296d7-f7cd-4fee-8b26-ead884ebf398
In Windows, go to the command line and change to the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent installation directory and update the UUID by executing mysql-monitor-agent -uf mysql-monitor-agent-3307.ini. For example:
C:\> cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\Enterprise\Agent C:\> mysql-monitor-agent -uf mysql-monitor-agent.ini (or your .ini file name)
This updates the configuration file directly with the new UUID.
