MySQL Cluster User Activity Test

This test reports the number and state of the processes of each user who is currently connected to each node on the target MySQL Cluster database server. Using the metrics reported by this test, administrators can promptly isolate idle processes, which are a drain on a server’s resources.

Target of the test : A MySQL Cluster

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each user currently connected to each node on the target MySQL Cluster database server monitored

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the specified host listens.
Database	Specify the name of a database on the target MySQL Cluster database server being monitored
Username 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 MySQL Cluster database server. To know how to create such a user, refer to Pre-requisites for Monitoring the MySQL Cluster Database Server topic.
Confirm Password	Confirm the password by retyping it here.
Idle Time	Specify the time duration (in seconds) above which the processes that are waiting in the database will be regarded as idle.
Detailed Diagnosis	To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option. The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled: The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Active processes	Indicates the number of processes of this user that are currently active.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the exact active processes of the user and the time for which the processes are actually active.
Idle processes	Indicates the number of processes that are idle for this user in this database.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the idle processes of the user and the time for which the processes were idle.
Inactive processes	Indicates the number processes that were inactive for this user in this database.	Number	The detailed diagnosis of this measure lists the inactive processes of the user and the time for which the processes were inactive.
Total processes	Indicates the total number of processes for this user.	Number

The detailed diagnosis of the Active processes measure lists the exact active processes of the user and the time for which the processes are actually active.
