MySQL Server Exporter Build Status

CircleCI Docker Repository on Quay Docker Pulls

Prometheus exporter for MySQL server metrics. Supported MySQL versions: 5.1 and up. NOTE: Not all collection methods are support on MySQL < 5.6

Building and running

Required Grants

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

Build

make

Running

Running using an environment variable:

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

Running using ~/.my.cnf:

./mysqld_exporter <flags>
