Create a traget machine to install Mysql server
Here I have created a MySQL target machine using VM (ubuntu 22.04)Lets Install Mysql server
apt update
apt install mysql-server
systemctl start mysql
systemctl enable mysql
systemctl status mysqlAdd prometheus user in prometheus group
useradd --no-create-home --shell /bin/false prometheus
groupadd --system prometheus
useradd -s /sbin/nologin --system -g prometheus prometheus
- Downloading latest Mysqld-exporter
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/prometheus/mysqld_exporter/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url | grep linux-amd64 | cut -d '"' -f 4 | wget -qi -
- Extract the downloaded file
tar xvf mysqld_exporter*.tar.gz
root@mysql-2:~# tar xvf mysqld_exporter*.tar.gz
mysqld_exporter-0.15.0.linux-amd64/
mysqld_exporter-0.15.0.linux-amd64/mysqld_exporter
mysqld_exporter-0.15.0.linux-amd64/NOTICE
mysqld_exporter-0.15.0.linux-amd64/LICENSE
Move the mysqld-exporter to /usr/local/bin
mv mysqld_exporter-*.linux-amd64/mysqld_exporter /usr/local/bin/
- giving permission to mysqld-exporter
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mysqld_exporter
- verify the mysqld-exporter version
mysqld_exporter --version
root@mysql-2:~# mysqld_exporter --version

- Configure MySQL DB credentials
vim /etc/.mysqld_exporter.cnf
root@mysql-2:~# cat /etc/.mysqld_exporter.cnf
[client]
user=mysqld_exporter
password=******
- providing ownership
chown root:prometheus /etc/.mysqld_exporter.cnf
- Create systemmd unit file
vim /etc/systemd/system/mysql_exporter.service
root@mysql-2:~# cat /etc/systemd/system/mysql_exporter.service

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
- Reload the daemon and start,enable,status of the service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable mysql_exporter
systemctl start mysql_exporter
systemctl status mysql_exporter
Already we have created a prometheus server machine and done with the installation of(prometheus,grafana,alertmanager,node-exporter)
Adding scrape config file to communicate with db
vim /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
- job_name: 'server1_db'
scrape_interval: 5s
static_configs:
- targets: ['server_ip:9104']
root@prometheus-2:~# cat etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
cat: etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml: No such file or directory
root@prometheus-2:~# cat /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
global:
scrape_interval: 10s
scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'prometheus'
scrape_interval: 5s
static_configs:
- targets: ['localhost:9090']
- job_name: 'prometheus_server'
scrape_interval: 5s
static_configs:
- targets: ['192.168.122.138:9100']
- job_name: 'server1_db'
scrape_interval: 5s
static_configs:
- targets: ['192.168.122.137:9104']
- Adding Alert rules for msqld-exporter
vim /etc/prometheus/rules/alert-rules.yml
alertmanager rules:
- alert: MysqlDown
expr: mysql_up == 0
for: 2m
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: MySQL down (instance {{ $labels.instance }})
description: "MySQL instance is down on {{ $labels.instance }}\n VALUE = {{ $value }}\n LABELS = {{ $labels }}"
- Restart and verify the status of all services (prometheus,grafana,node_exporter,alertmanager)
systemctl restart prometheus
systemctl status prometheus
systemctl restart grafana
systemctl status grafana
systemctl restart node_exporter
systemctl status node_exporter
systemctl restart alertmanager
systemctl status alertmanager
Need to import the JASON file at the Grafana dashboard
find the below link to get the JASON file.
- Copy the mysql-overview.jason file from the above link and paste under "import via dashboard JASON model"
- Name the Dashboard and keep time sync "every 5 minutes" and the save the dashboard.
Now we able to Monitor the MySQL DB using Prometheus-Grafana/mysqld-exporter.
