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.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Delayed writes	Indicates the rate at which rows are written with INSERT DELAYED.	Writes/Sec
Delayed errors	Indicates the rate at which errors occurred in the rows written with INSERT DELAYED.	Errors/Sec	Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
Updates	Indicates the rate at which requests to update a row in a table were received.	Updates/Sec
Inserts	Indicates the rate at which requests to insert a row in a table were received.	Inserts/Sec
Deletions	Indicates the rate at which requests to delete a row in a table were received.	Deletions/Sec
Flushes	Indicates the rate at which FLUSH commands were executed.	Flushes/Sec
