# MySQL by Zabbix agent 2 active

## Overview

This template is designed for the effortless deployment of MySQL monitoring by Zabbix via Zabbix agent 2 active 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, 9.4
- Percona 8.4
- MariaDB 10.6, 11.8

## 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. 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.

**NOTE:** In order to collect replication metrics, MariaDB Enterprise Server 10.5.8-5 and above and MariaDB Community Server 10.5.9 and above require the `SLAVE MONITOR` privilege to be set for the monitoring user:

```text
GRANT REPLICATION CLIENT,PROCESS,SHOW DATABASES,SHOW VIEW,SLAVE MONITOR ON *.* TO 'zbx_monitor'@'%';
```

For more information please read the MariaDB documentation https://mariadb.com/docs/server/ref/mdb/privileges/SLAVE_MONITOR/.

2. Set in the {$MYSQL.DSN} macro the data source name of the MySQL instance either session name from Zabbix agent 2 configuration file or URI.
**Examples:** MySQL1, tcp://localhost:3306, tcp://172.16.0.10, unix:/var/run/mysql.sock
For more information about MySQL Unix socket file, see the MySQL documentation https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/problems-with-mysql-sock.html.

3. If you had set URI in the {$MYSQL.DSN}, define the user name and password in host macros ({$MYSQL.USER} and {$MYSQL.PASSWORD}).
Leave macros {$MYSQL.USER} and {$MYSQL.PASSWORD} empty if you use a session name. Set the user name and password in the Plugins.Mysql.<...> section of your Zabbix agent 2 configuration file.
For more information about configuring the Zabbix MySQL plugin, see the documentation https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/browse/src/go/plugins/mysql/README.md.

**NOTE:** In order to use this template for monitoring MySQL version 8.4 and later, Zabbix agent 2 version 7.0.22 and later should be used.

The combined size can be no more than 512 GB. 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>|
