For MySQL Enterprise Monitor to operate correctly, each agent must have a unique UUID in order to uniquely identify the agent with the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager.
Ensure that you do not reuse or duplicate a UUID. Running two agents with the same identification number yields unpredictable results
Go to the Agent installation directory and enter the following command:
shell> bin/mysql-proxy --plugins=agent --agent-generate-uuid
This should display a line similar to the following:
ee9296d7-f7cd-4fee-8b26-ead884ebf398
Paste this line into the [mysql-proxy] section
of the mysql-monitor-agent.ini file for the
agent-uuid parameter:
[mysql-proxy] ... agent-uuid=ee9296d7-f7cd-4fee-8b26-ead884ebf398
In Windows, go to the command line and change to the MySQL Enterprise Agent installation directory and update the UUID by executing:
C:\> cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\Enterprise\Agent C:\> mysql-monitor-agent -uf mysql-monitor-agent.ini
This updates the configuration file directly with the new UUID.
