MySQL Enterprise Audit provides an easy to use, policy-based auditing solution that helps organizations to implement stronger security controls and to satisfy regulatory compliance.

As more sensitive data is collected, stored and used online, database auditing becomes an essential component of any security strategy. To guard against the misuse of information, popular compliance regulations including …

MySQL Enterprise Monitor (MEM) is part of the MySQL Enterprise Edition, and MEM provides real-time visibility into the performance and availability of all your MySQL databases. MEM and the MySQL Query Analyzer continuously monitor your databases and alerts you to potential problems before they impact your system. It’s like having a “Virtual DBA Assistant” at your side to recommend best practices to eliminate security vulnerabilities, improve replication, optimize performance and more. As a result, the productivity of your developers, DBAs and System Administrators is improved significantly.

With MEM, you have a couple of notification options for receiving information when MEM has received an event alert. An event alert is a “significant deviation from the baseline performance …

Time to install MEM 3.0, and get its built-in agent working.

[ If you want some tips on What's New, have a look here. ]

I’ve downloaded the Monitor Server and the agent zipped s/w for Linux & Win from http://edelivery.oracle.com:

mysqlmonitor-3.0.0.2887-linux-x86-installer.bin
mysqlmonitoragent-3.0.0.2887-linux-glibc2.3-x86-32bit-installer.bin
mysqlmonitoragent-3.0.0.2887-windows-installer.exe

The Monitor install

So, on my Oracle Linux machine:

./mysqlmonitor-3.0.0.2887-linux-x86-installer.bin

It all installs fine. No issues, if you’re used to MEM 2.3.

Double check your configuration_report.txt :

MySQL Enterprise Monitor (Version 3.0.0.2887 : 3.0.0.2887)

Here are the settings you …

Ok, so after all the things that have been announced @MySQLConnect, I’ve got to play around with them. First stop: space (no.. not ‘the final frontier’).

I need more space on my f/s to get installing. I was a bit of a scrooge when I created my Oracle Linux virtual machine, so now I’m paying the price.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_ol63uek01-LogVol01
                      7.1G  5.7G  1.1G  85% /

As I’m using Virtual Box, I’ve added a new SATA Controller vmdk of 10G, SATA Port 1 and then start it up.

fdisk -l

Will be able to identify the new & unused partition:

[root@ol63uek01 ~]# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders
 Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
 Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
 I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
 Disk identifier: …

Here’s a look at using MySQL Enterprise Backup in a specific example:

Consider a Backup Policy – Full Backup of the environment. – Complemental Incremental backups & online BinLogs. And the Restore: – Logical Restore. – Online, Zero impact. – Partial, single database, group of tables. The Backup A working environment, with 4 databases, of which 2 will require restoration. Full backup with MySQL Enterprise Backup:

mysqlbackup --user=root --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock \
  --backup-dir=/home/mysql/voju5/backup/ \
  --with-timestamp backup

Test preparation Create 4 different databases, where the structure & content is the same.

create database v5_1; use v5_1; create table `voju5` (
  `ID` int(7) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `Name` char(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '‘,
   PRIMARY KEY (`ID`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB;
create database v5_2; use v5_2; create table `voju5` (..);
