MySQL Server Exporter Build Status

CircleCI Docker Repository on Quay Docker Pulls Go Report Card

Prometheus exporter for MySQL server metrics.

Supported versions:

  • MySQL >= 8.0.

Building and running

Required Grants
CREATE USER 'exporter'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'XXXXXXXX' WITH MAX_USER_CONNECTIONS 3;
GRANT PROCESS, REPLICATION CLIENT, SELECT ON *.* TO 'exporter'@'localhost';

NOTE: It is recommended to set a max connection limit for the user to avoid overloading the server with monitoring scrapes under heavy load. This is not supported on all MySQL/MariaDB versions; for example, MariaDB 10.1 (provided with Ubuntu 18.04) does not support this feature.

Build
make
Running

Running using an environment variable:

export DATA_SOURCE_NAME='user:password@(hostname:3306)/'
./mysqld_exporter <flags>

Running using ~/.my.cnf:

./mysqld_exporter <flags>

Example format for flags for version > 0.10.0:

--collect.auto_increment.columns
--no-collect.auto_increment.columns

Example format for flags for version <= 0.10.0:

-collect.auto_increment.columns
-collect.auto_increment.columns=[true|false]

version Print the version information.

TLS and basic authentication

The MySQLd Exporter supports TLS and basic authentication.

To use TLS and/or basic authentication, you need to pass a configuration file using the --web.config.file parameter. The format of the file is described in the exporter-toolkit repository.

Setting the MySQL server's data source name

The MySQL server's data source name must be set via the DATA_SOURCE_NAME environment variable. The format of this variable is described at https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql#dsn-data-source-name.

Customizing Configuration for a SSL Connection

If The MySQL server supports SSL, you may need to specify a CA truststore to verify the server's chain-of-trust. You may also need to specify a SSL keypair for the client side of the SSL connection. To configure the mysqld exporter to use a custom CA certificate, add the following to the mysql cnf file:

ssl-ca=/path/to/ca/file

To specify the client SSL keypair, add the following to the cnf.

ssl-key=/path/to/ssl/client/key
ssl-cert=/path/to/ssl/client/cert

Customizing the SSL configuration is only supported in the mysql cnf file and is not supported if you set the mysql server's data source name in the environment variable DATA_SOURCE_NAME.

Using Docker

You can deploy this exporter using the prom/mysqld-exporter Docker image.

For example:

docker network create my-mysql-network
docker pull prom/mysqld-exporter

docker run -d \
  -p 9104:9104 \
  --network my-mysql-network  \
  -e DATA_SOURCE_NAME="user:password@(hostname:3306)/" \
  prom/mysqld-exporter

Filtering enabled collectors

The mysqld_exporter will expose all metrics from enabled collectors by default. This is the recommended way to collect metrics to avoid errors when comparing metrics of different families.

For advanced use the mysqld_exporter can be passed an optional list of collectors to filter metrics. The collect[] parameter may be used multiple times. In Prometheus configuration you can use this syntax under the scrape config.

params:
  collect[]:
  - foo
  - bar

This can be useful for having different Prometheus servers collect specific metrics from targets.

Example Rules

There is a set of sample rules, alerts and dashboards available in the mysqld-mixin
