14.6.5.1. Using the Administration Interface

The mysql-proxy administration interface can be accessed using any MySQL client using the standard protocols. You can use the administration interface to gain information about the proxy server as a whole - standard connections to the proxy are isolated to operate as if you were connected directly to the backend MySQL server.

In mysql-proxy 0.8.0 and earlier, a rudimentary interface was built into the proxy. In later versions this was replaced so that you must specify an administration script to be used when users connect to the administration interface.

To use the administration interface, you should specify the user name and password required to connect to the admin service (using the --admin-username and --admin-password options). You must also specify the Lua script to be used as the interface to the administration service by using the admin-lua-script script option to point to a Lua script.

For example, you can create a basic interface to the internal components of the mysql-proxy system using the following script, written by Diego Medina:

--[[    Help

we use a simple string-match to split commands are word-boundaries

mysql> show querycounter

is split into
command = "show"
option  = "querycounter"

spaces are ignored, the case has to be as is.

mysql> show myerror

returns a error-packet

end

To use the script, save the first script to a file (admin.lua in the following example) and the other to reporter.lua, then run mysql-proxy specifying the admin script and a backend MySQL server:

shell> mysql-proxy --admin-lua-script=admin.lua --admin-password=password \ »
     --admin-username=root --proxy-backend-addresses=127.0.0.1:3306 -proxy-lua-script=reporter.lua

In a different window, connect to the MySQL server through the proxy:

shell> mysql --user=root --password=password --port=4040
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1798669
Server version: 5.0.70-log Gentoo Linux mysql-5.0.70-r1

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> 

In another different window, connect to the mysql-proxy admin service using the specified user name and password:

shell> mysql --user=root --password=password --port=4041 --host=localhost
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1
Server version: 5.0.99-agent-admin

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql>

To monitor the status of the proxy, ask for a list of the current active processes:

mysql> show proxy processlist;
+---------+---------------------+--------------------------+
| Id      | IP Address          | Time                     |
+---------+---------------------+--------------------------+
| 1798669 | 192.168.0.112:52592 | Wed Jan 20 16:58:00 2010 | 
+---------+---------------------+--------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>
