# MySQL by Zabbix agent active

## Overview

This template is designed for the effortless deployment of MySQL monitoring by Zabbix via Zabbix agent active and doesn't require any external scripts.

## Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

## Tested versions

This template has been tested on:
- MySQL 5.7, 8.0
- Percona 8.0
- MariaDB 10.4, 10.6.8

## Configuration

> Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the [Templates out of the box](https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.0/manual/config/templates_out_of_the_box) section.

## Setup

1. Install Zabbix agent and MySQL client. If necessary, add the path to the `mysql` and `mysqladmin` utilities to the global environment variable PATH.
2. Copy the `template_db_mysql.conf` file with user parameters into folder with Zabbix agent configuration (/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/ by default). Don't forget to restart Zabbix agent.
3. Create the MySQL user that will be used for monitoring (`<password>` at your discretion). For example:

```text
CREATE USER 'zbx_monitor'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
GRANT REPLICATION CLIENT,PROCESS,SHOW DATABASES,SHOW VIEW ON *.* TO 'zbx_monitor'@'%';
```

For more information, please see [`MySQL documentation`](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/grant.html).

4. Create `.my.cnf` configuration file in the home directory of Zabbix agent for Linux distributions (/var/lib/zabbix by default) or `my.cnf` in c:\ for Windows. For example:

```text
[client]
protocol=tcp
user='zbx_monitor'
password='<password>'
```

For more information, please see [`MySQL documentation`](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/option-files.html).

NOTE: Linux distributions that use SELinux may require additional steps for access configuration.

For example, the following rule could be added to the SELinux policy:

```text
# cat <<EOF > zabbix_home.te
module zabbix_home 1.0;

require {
        type zabbix_agent_t;
        type zabbix_var_lib_t;
        type mysqld_etc_t;
        type mysqld_port_t;
        type mysqld_var_run_t;
        class file { open read };
        class tcp_socket name_connect;
        class sock_file write;
}

#============= zabbix_agent_t ==============

allow zabbix_agent_t zabbix_var_lib_t:file read;
allow zabbix_agent_t zabbix_var_lib_t:file open;
allow zabbix_agent_t mysqld_etc_t:file read;
allow zabbix_agent_t mysqld_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect;
allow zabbix_agent_t mysqld_var_run_t:sock_file write;
EOF
# checkmodule -M -m -o zabbix_home.mod zabbix_home.te
# semodule_package -o zabbix_home.pp -m zabbix_home.mod
# semodule -i zabbix_home.pp
# restorecon -R /var/lib/zabbix
```

The combined size can be no more than 512 GB.
