9.6. Troubleshooting Query Analyzer

If you are having trouble with Query Analyzer, either because the information is not being shown or the full range of queries that you expect are not appearing in the Query Analyzer page then there are a number of systems you can check.

To confirm that your system is correctly configured for Query Analysis, check the following:

  • Confirm that the agent is running by checking the Agent log and the status of the server within MySQL Enterprise Service Manager

  • Check the configuration of the agent. You must confirm the following:

    • The plugins parameter within the main configuration file, mysql-monitor-agent.ini, must contain the proxy plugin: 

      plugins=proxy,agent

    • The agent-item-files parameter within the main configurationfile, mysql-monitor-agent.ini, must specify the share/mysql-proxy/items/quan.lua script: 

      agent-item-files = share/mysql-proxy/items/quan.lua, »
     share/mysql-proxy/items/items-mysql-monitor.xml

    • The proxy configuration parameters must point to the MySQL server where you want your queries to be sent. For example, if you are running your agent on the same host as your MySQL server then you might have the following lines in your mysql-monitor-agent.ini file: 

      proxy-address=:6446
proxy-backend-addresses = 127.0.0.1:3306
proxy-lua-script        = share/mysql-proxy/quan.lua

      The above configuration can means:

      • The agent/proxy will listen on the current machine, using port 6446 (proxy-address).

      • The agent/proxy will send all queries received on to the host 127.0.0.1 on port 3306 (the standard MySQL port), as per the proxy-backend-addresses parameter.

    You can see a sample complete configuration file (mysql-monitor-agent.ini), using the 127.0.0.1 as the MySQL backend server, and reporting to a MySQL Enterprise Service Manager called monitor: 

    [mysql-proxy]

plugins=proxy,agent
agent-mgmt-hostname = http://agent:password@monitor:18080/heartbeat
mysqld-instance-dir= etc/instances
agent-item-files = share/mysql-proxy/items/quan.lua,share/mysql-proxy/items/items-mysql-monitor.xml
proxy-address=:6446
proxy-backend-addresses = 127.0.0.1:3306
proxy-lua-script        = share/mysql-proxy/quan.lua


agent-uuid = a3113263-4993-4890-8235-cadef9617c4b
log-file = mysql-monitor-agent.log
pid-file=/opt/mysql/enterprise/agent/mysql-monitor-agent.pid

  • Confirm that you can connect through the agent proxy to your backend MySQL server. You can do this by checking with the MySQL client. You must specify the same options as you would if you were connecting to the original server, including specifying the same user and password information:

  • Check that your MySQL client application is configured to use the configured proxy port, instead of the real MySQL port when sending queries.

  • Confirm that Query Analyzer enabled for your host. For more information, see Section 9.7, “Query Analyzer Settings”.
