How to use a Wrapper Script to set Custom Per-Process Attributes for MySQL Server
There may be times you need to set custom per-process limits or attributes. It is possible to patch mysqld_safe, but using a wrapper script is easier to implement. In earlier versions, you could use mysqld_safe's mysqld= option to specify the path to your wrapper script, but this feature was removed as of 5.5.52, 5.6.33 and 5.7.15. Currently the simplest solution is to rename the existing mysqld (e.g. to mysqld.bin), and put your script named mysqld in the same directory. Rename the … [Read more...] about How to use a Wrapper Script to set Custom Per-Process Attributes for MySQL Server

How To Configure Separate Override.conf For Multiple MySQL Instances Using Systemd
If the system services are managed by systemd, the systemd daemon should be aware of the PID file location of process to start/stop/restart it. On a system with systemd support, "override.conf" is used to specify both "PIDFile" and "ExecStart" with PID file location. Any setting of the process ID file in MySQL option file (my.cnf) is ignored. This post covers the case when we need to create a separate "override.conf" files for multiple MySQL instances management on the same server.

How to find Which Process Is Killing mysqld With SIGKILL or SIGTERM on Linux
To determine which process is sending the signal to mysqld, it is necessary to trace the signals through the Linux kernel. Two options to do this are: the audit log (auditd) systemtap Each of these methods will be discussed in the following sections. Audit Log The audit log is simple to set up, but does not provide fine grained control of which processes and signals are monitored; everything is included. So the log can become quite noisy, so it is recommended to disable the … [Read more...] about How to find Which Process Is Killing mysqld With SIGKILL or SIGTERM on Linux
How to Generate Unique IDs For MysQL Cluster Backups
Each online MySQL Cluster backup receives a unique identification number. This is to ensure that there is a history of activities in the backup directory. However, this can causes problems. For example, if a system restarts, this ID counter is reset and starts again at number 1, causing problems if you didn't move earlier backups. This post will discuss how to generate unique backup ids. The best method is after each online backup operation to move the created backup directory to another … [Read more...] about How to Generate Unique IDs For MysQL Cluster Backups
