  • Process list
  • User Statistics
  • Info schema auto increment columns
  • InnoDB metrics
  • Table I/O waits

Configuration

[[inputs.mysql]]
  ## specify servers via a url matching:
  ##  [username[:password]@][protocol[(address)]]/[?tls=[true|false|skip-verify|custom]]
  ##  see https://github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql#dsn-data-source-name
  ##  e.g.
  ##    servers = ["user:passwd@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/?tls=false"]
  ##    servers = ["user@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/?tls=false"]
  #
  ## If no servers are specified, then localhost is used as the host.
  servers = ["tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/"]

  ## Selects the metric output format.
  ##
  ## This option exists to maintain backwards compatibility, if you have
  ## existing metrics do not set or change this value until you are ready to
  ## migrate to the new format.
  ##
  ## If you do not have existing metrics from this plugin set to the latest
  ## version.
  ##
  ## Telegraf >=1.6: metric_version = 2
  ##           <1.6: metric_version = 1 (or unset)
  metric_version = 2

  ## if the list is empty, then metrics are gathered from all databasee tables
  # table_schema_databases = []

  ## gather metrics from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES for databases provided above list
  # gather_table_schema = false

  ## gather thread state counts from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST
  # gather_process_list = false

  ## gather user statistics from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.USER_STATISTICS
  # gather_user_statistics = false

  ## gather auto_increment columns and max values from information schema
  # gather_info_schema_auto_inc = false

  ## gather metrics from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS
  # gather_innodb_metrics = false

  ## gather metrics from SHOW SLAVE STATUS command output
  # gather_slave_status = false

  ## gather metrics from SHOW BINARY LOGS command output
  # gather_binary_logs = false

  ## gather metrics from SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES command output
  # gather_global_variables = true

  ## gather metrics from PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.TABLE_IO_WAITS_SUMMARY_BY_TABLE
  # gather_table_io_waits = false

  ## gather metrics from PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.TABLE_LOCK_WAITS
  # gather_table_lock_waits = false

  ## gather metrics from PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.TABLE_IO_WAITS_SUMMARY_BY_INDEX_USAGE
  # gather_index_io_waits = false

  ## gather metrics from PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.EVENT_WAITS
  # gather_event_waits = false

  ## gather metrics from PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.FILE_SUMMARY_BY_EVENT_NAME
  # gather_file_events_stats = false

  ## gather metrics from PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.EVENTS_STATEMENTS_SUMMARY_BY_DIGEST
  # gather_perf_events_statements = false

  ## the limits for metrics form perf_events_statements
  # perf_events_statements_digest_text_limit = 120
  # perf_events_statements_limit = 250
  # perf_events_statements_time_limit = 86400

  ## Some queries we may want to run less often (such as SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES)
  ##   example: interval_slow = "30m"
  # interval_slow = ""

  ## Optional TLS Config (will be used if tls=custom parameter specified in server uri)
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false

Metric Version

When metric_version = 2, a variety of field type issues are corrected as well as naming inconsistencies. If you have existing data on the original version enabling this feature will cause a field type error when inserted into InfluxDB due to the change of types. For this reason, you should keep the metric_version unset until you are ready to migrate to the new format.

If preserving your old data is not required you may wish to drop conflicting measurements:

DROP SERIES from mysql
DROP SERIES from mysql_variables
DROP SERIES from mysql_innodb

Otherwise, migration can be performed using the following steps:

  1. Duplicate your mysql plugin configuration and add a name_suffix and metric_version = 2, this will result in collection using both the old and new style concurrently:

    [[inputs.mysql]]
  servers = ["tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/"]

[[inputs.mysql]]
  name_suffix = "_v2"
  metric_version = 2

  servers = ["tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/"]

  2. Upgrade all affected Telegraf clients to version >=1.6.

    New measurements will be created with the name_suffix, for example::

    • mysql_v2
    • mysql_variables_v2

  3. Update charts, alerts, and other supporting code to the new format.

  4. You can now remove the old mysql plugin configuration and remove old measurements.

If you wish to remove the name_suffix you may use Kapacitor to copy the historical data to the default name. Do this only after retiring the old measurement name.

  1. Use the techinique described above to write to multiple locations: 
    [[inputs.mysql]]
  servers = ["tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/"]
  metric_version = 2

[[inputs.mysql]]
  name_suffix = "_v2"
  metric_version = 2

  servers = ["tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/"]
  2. Create a TICKScript to copy the historical data: 
    dbrp "telegraf"."autogen"

batch
    |query('''
        SELECT * FROM "telegraf"."autogen"."mysql_v2"
    ''')
        .period(5m)
        .every(5m)
        |influxDBOut()
                .database('telegraf')
                .retentionPolicy('autogen')
                .measurement('mysql')
  3. Define a task for your script: 
    kapacitor define copy-measurement -tick copy-measurement.task
  4. Run the task over the data you would like to migrate: 
    kapacitor replay-live batch -start 2018-03-30T20:00:00Z -stop 2018-04-01T12:00:00Z -rec-time -task copy-measurement
  5. Verify copied data and repeat for other measurements.
