Python plugin support is experimental and implementation may change in the future

Currently every plugin must be written in python3. All third party libraries should be installed system-wide or in python_modules directory. Also plugins support changing their data collection frequency by setting update_every variable in their configuration file.

The following python.d plugins are supported:

The plugin will monitor one or more mysql servers

Requirements:

• python module MySQLdb (faster) or PyMySQL (slower)

It will produce following charts (if data is available):

1. Bandwidth in kbps

• in
• out

2. Queries in queries/sec

• queries
• questions
• slow queries

3. Operations in operations/sec

• opened tables
• flush
• commit
• delete
• prepare
• read first
• read key
• read next
• read prev
• read random
• read random next
• rollback
• save point
• update
• write

4. Table Locks in locks/sec

• immediate
• waited

5. Select Issues in issues/sec

• full join
• full range join
• range
• range check
• scan

6. Sort Issues in issues/sec

• merge passes
• range
• scan

You can provide, per server, the following:

1. a name, anything you like, but keep it short
2. username which have access to database (deafults to 'root')
3. password (defaults to none)
4. mysql my.cnf configuration file
5. mysql socket (optional)
6. mysql host (ip or hostname)
7. mysql port (defaults to 3306)

Here is an example for 3 servers updating data every 10 seconds

update_every = 10

config=[
    {
        'name'     : 'local',
        'my.cnf'   : '/etc/mysql/my.cnf'
    },{
    	'name'     : 'local_2',
        'user'     : 'root',
        'password' : 'blablablabla',
        'socket'   : '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
    },{
        'name'     : 'remote',
        'user'     : 'admin',
        'password' : 'bla',
        'host'     : 'example.org',
        'port'     : '9000'
    }]

If no configuration is given, the plugin will attempt to connect to mysql server via unix socket at /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock without password and username root
