Before you begin
- Ensure that the system requirements for the MariaDB agent are met in your environment. For the up-to-date system requirement information, see the Software Product Compatibility Reports (SPCR) for the MariaDB agent.
- Ensure that a user is created in MariaDB database to run the agent. The user does not require any specific privileges on the MariaDB database that is being monitored locally.
- Ensure that the performance_schema variable value is set to
ONin the my.ini file for Windows platform and my.cnf file for non-Windows platform. - Grant the minimum permissions like SELECT, PROCESS, and EVENT to the user.
- If the user needs to monitor MariaDB 10.4 or its later versions, then you must reset root user password and provide the correct user password for configuring MariaDB agent.
