Question: What is the MySQL Performance Monitor (MPM) monitoring and what data is the agent sending?

Answer: The MPM agent is gathering mainly the output of:

SHOW GLOBAL STATUS;
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES;
SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS;

and some data of the INFORMATION_SCHEMA and the PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA

Question: What MPM modules do you provide at the moment?

Answer: You can find a list of the provided modules here.

mpm
maas
MPM General

I have gotten the FromDual modules and templates working on 2 of our 3 database servers. The last one, I keep getting the below errors in the FromDual log file:

3387:2013-02-05 12:55:51.296 - INFO: FromDual Performance Monitor for MySQL (0.9) run started.
3387:2013-02-05 12:55:51.297 - INFO: FromDualMySQLagent::setAgentLock
3387:2013-02-05 12:55:51.298 - WARN: Agent Lock file /tmp/FromDualMySQLagent.lock already exists.
3387:2013-02-05 12:55:51.299 - WARN: Another agent with PID 3366 (our PID is 3387) is running. We will abort now.

Are there any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thank you!

Hello, i installed FromDual on a MySQL 5.6 and made it work fine sending data. But now every 5 minutes i get the message of the Zabbix_agent unreachable in that server. Agent is working fine and network too. I get this error on Zabbix log: 2916:20140618:125301.324 Zabbix agent item "FromDual.MySQL.check" on host "HOST" failed: first network error, wait for 5 seconds 2931:20140618:125309.359 Zabbix agent item "FromDual.MySQL.check" on host "HOST" failed: another network error, wait for 5 seconds 2931:20140618:125314.491 resuming Zabbix agent checks on host "HOST": connection restored Anyone can help me solving this? Thank you

If I chose full Modules for MPM,FromDualMySQLagent.log will post this error

If I chose only 4 modules in config file like this(can't choose server and proess):
Modules = mpm mysql slave innodb
FromDualMySQLagent.log didn't post error any more,but this problem is not happen all of my DB.
Do you have any solution to fix this ? thanks~~

Hello poorx7,

The got TERM signal means that the process was hanging too long somewhere and the next start of mpm killed this one.

If I interpret your Chinese output correctly the last message comes from the server module.

Can you please try to just run server manually as follows: FromDualMySQLagent.pl debug.conf with this configuration:

#
# debug.conf
#
[debug]

Debug        = 4
Type         = mysqld
Modules      = server
LogFile      = /tmp/mpm_debug.log

and send us the log file. I heavily assume that mpm is not capable to handle Chinese Linux because we are parsing output and are not expecting some of these characters.
An other approach to narrow down would be to set the locales to LANG=en_US.UTF-8. Maybe then the problem goes away. But just as a work-around. We have to fix it...

Regards,
Oli

I use the debug.conf is :
[debug]
Debug = 4
Type = mysqld
Modules = server
LogFile = /usr/local/mpm/FromDualMySQLagent.log

Try it and result is this:
[root@DB22484 mpm]# ./FromDualMySQLagent.pl debug.conf
1

[root@DB22484 mpm]# more /var/log/zabbix/FromDualMySQLagent.log

it seem OK,and I try module server+process,and server+process+mysql+innodb,however it didnt post "FromDualMySQLagent::removeAgentLock" in log, am I try it something wrong?

The complete log I upload here

thanks for help ^.^

Hello poorx7,

I see, that you are using an old version of mpm: 0.9.2 the current version is 0.9.3 which you can download from here.

0.9.3 has some fixes in the area you are currently struggling... See the Release Notes.

And here it looks like something is wrong with your mpm configuration:

5738:2014-08-06 15:05:51.379 - DBG : /usr/bin/zabbix_sender --zabbix-server --port 10051 --host 'debug' --key FromDual.server.check --value '1' -vv
zabbix_sender [5742]: DEBUG: send value error: gethostbyname() failed for '--port': [3] Unknown server error
Sending failed.

host is missing or is wrong. Can you please send me your mpm configuration file so I can see if our error catching is not good enough?

Thanks,
Oli
