The Top 10 Most Inappropriately Misappropriated Lyrics For Monitoring

As I flipped the channels in my car, Josh Groban’s soulful voice floated over my speakers and caressed my very soul, singing about our shared timeless yearning to solve the monitoring problems that plague us all:

I can’t cage you in my arms
When my heart is jumping forward
To avoid your false alarms

“These lyrics are so deeply meaningful to me!” I thought, reaching for the box of Kleenex. SING IT, Josh! And he did, his soaring voice speaking of anomaly detection algorithms (I understand the following lyrics to be addressed to a system metric such as CPU, don’t you agree?).

And you can’t tell me not to stay
When I opened up your window
And I watched you fly away

Now there’s a song I can relate to! If you need to stop reading and go listen to Josh sing his sensible, logical lyrics that always …

We've Moved!

I want to take a moment to thank you for reading this blog. We are working very hard on cool tools for you to use with MySQL and we really enjoy spreading the news of these tools to you.  With this in mind I wanted to update you on something that is changing. We are moving to a new blog home at http://insidemysql.com/.  From this point on all new content will be posted on our new blog and we encourage each of you to update your bookmarks accordingly.  Our aggregator at http://planet.mysql.com/ has already been updated.

Don' t worry! The old posts will still be here so your old bookmarks will still work.  You can find our new Windows focused category at

San Francisco mySQL Meetup August 26 2015

Shots Architecture and how we handle extreme load spikes
I invite you to come out and join me in a talk about the above heading. I will describe many things and walk through the cases of what technology is used, where, why and how. The event information is located here. I'll also touch on, how cost is reduced, how we handle celebrity's load when they promote and what's next to make the system even more automatic and solid.
Thanks for sfmysql.org for all the work they do and for allowing me to give a talk.

PXC – Incremental State transfers in detail

IST Basics

State transfers in Galera remain a mystery to most people.  Incremental State transfers (as opposed to full State Snapshot transfers) are used under the following conditions:

  • The Joiner node reports Galera a valid Galera GTID to the cluster
  • The Donor node selected contains all the transactions the Joiner needs to catch up to the rest of the cluster in its Gcache
  • The Donor node can establish a TCP connection to the Joiner on port 4568 (by default)

IST states

Galera has many internal node states related to Joiner nodes.  They currently are:

  1. Joining
  2. Joining: preparing for State Transfer
  3. Joining: requested State Transfer
  4. Joining: receiving State Transfer
  5. Joining: State …

MySQL 5.7 multi-source replication revealed!

Why Multi source replication is required?

MySQL has limitation of not allowing to replicate multiple DB’s from different master host on a single slave. MySQL replication had a limitation, fixed with this new release, that said that one slave could have only one master. That is a limiting factor when we are designing our replication environment. There were some “hacks” to make it work, but now there is an official way.

What is multisource replication?
MySQL Multi-Source Replication enables a replication slave to receive transactions from multiple sources simultaneously. Multi-source replication can be used to back up multiple servers to a single server, to merge table shards, and consolidate data from multiple servers to a single server. Multi-source replication does not implement any conflict detection or resolution when applying the transactions, and those tasks are left to the …

MySQL Replication has stopped

Hi,

I think most of the DBAs experience this error in their weekly, monthly todo list. Each one follows different approach, I would like to share some tips here:

  1. You should first execute “Show Slave Status;” and check the output, analyze it. Whether SQL thread has stopped or I/O thread has stopped and check respective error , It should be either SQL error or I/O error, based on that take next step.

I/O thread has stopped:

  1. Check that you can reach the master host from slave hostby using ping or traceroute/tracert to reach the host.
  2. Connect to Master host and check whether “Replication thread” is connected.
  3. There are multiple thread state involved, you need to take action based on thread state –  …

Become a MySQL DBA blog series - Live Migration using MySQL Replication

Migrating your database to a new datacenter can be a high-risk and time-consuming process. A database contains state, and can be much harder to migrate as compared to web servers, queues or cache servers. 

In this blog post, we will give you some tips on how to migrate your data from one service provider to another. The process is somewhat similar to our previous post on how to upgrade MySQL, but there are a couple of important differences. 
 
This is the seventh installment in the ‘Become a MySQL DBA’ blog series. Our previous posts in the DBA series include Database Upgrades, …
