Maria Activity Test

This test tracks the writes, inserts, deletes, and flushes happening on a Maria Database server.

Target of the test : A Maria Database server

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the database server being monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter Description

Test Period

How often should the test be executed.

Host

The IP address of the Maria Database server.

Port

The port on which the server is listening.

Database

Specify the name of the database that is to be monitored on the target Maria Database server.

User and Password

The eG agent has to be configured with the credentials of a user who has server-wide PROCESS and SELECT privileges on the monitored Maria Database server. To know how to create such a user, refer to Configuring the eG Agent with Access Privileges section.

Confirm Password

Confirm the password by retyping it here.

SSL

This indicates that the eG agent will communicate with the Maria Database via HTTPS or not. By default, this flag is set to No, as the target Maria database is not SSL-enabled by default. If the target database is SSL-enabled, then set this flag to Yes.

Verify CA

If the eG agent is required to establish an encrypted connection with the target Maria Database server by authenticating the server's identity through verifying the server CA certificate, set Verify CA flag to Yes. By default, this flag is set to No.
