1. MONyog is licensed per server. Does that mean MONyog servers or MySQL servers?

A: It means MySQL servers. You may install as many instances of MONyog as you like as long as the total number of MySQL servers monitored does not exceed your license.

 

Top

 

2. Do I need to install MONyog on the same host as MySQL?

A: MySQL servers, MONyog server(s) and Clients (browser) can be installed independently everywhere where a TCP connection (like an Internet/Intranet connection) is available. Available TCP connections is all what is required. Put one on the Moon if you like (but don't ask us to pay for the connection!). Regarding installing MONyog on the same host as MySQL please refer to Connects to/Monitors MySQL on any platform. For further details see also Installation.

 

Top

 

3. What operations system does MONyog require?

A: Currently we support Windows (do not support Windows 2000) and Linux operating systems. Those are the Operating Systems where MONyog itself will have to be installed. The MONyog client functionalities only require an Internet browser and any platform (including platforms for handheld devices like mobile phone, PDA, tablet PC etc.) will do. There are also no restriction as regards the platforms the MySQL servers that MONyog connect to - it can be any. Additionally, MONyog is able to retrieve OS data from Linux Operation Systems.

4. How do I upgrade MONyog?

A: This is actually a license-related question and a technical question as well.  

 

NOTE: Don't forget to backup whatever JavaScript you have edited, as they will be overwritten when upgrading.

 

Top

 

5. Why should I upgrade?

A: Every new release adds features, fixes bugs, improves performance, stability, the GUI interface etc. Why should you NOT upgrade? Refer to Version History for details.

 

Top

 

6. I have installed MONyog. What now? How do I get the reports?

A: What you installed was the MONyog service. This service is basically a webserver program. You connect to the service with an Internet browser by specifying the host where it is installed and the port that was specified when installing.

7. How can MONyog 'know all what it does'?

A: MONyog queries the MySQL servers about almost anything the server 'knows' except for data stored on those servers. The MySQL servers themselves store and maintain records of server configuration, users, history and much more. MONyog retrieves this information, organizes it, calculates on it and reports.  

 

Top

 

8. Where does MONyog store data?

A: This depends on the Operating system.

 

Data folder:

Windows XP/2003: {System_drive}:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Webyog\MONyog\Data

 

MONyog.ini + MONyog.log + preferences.config are in:

Windows XP/2003: {System_drive}:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Webyog\MONyog

Data folder:

Windows Vista:{System_drive}:\ProgramData\Webyog\MONyog\Data

 

MONyog.ini + MONyog.log + preferences.config are in:

Windows Vista:{System_drive}:\ProgramData\Webyog\MONyog

      1. /usr/local/MONyog/data/: The connection configuration and collected data are kept here. There will be directories named like 0001, 0002, 0003, etc.

      2. /usr/local/MONyog/MONyog.ini: Installation file

      3. /usr/local/MONyog/MONyog.log: Log file

      4. /usr/local/MONyog/preferences.config: Configuration file

If you have extracted MONyog package in a directory called MONyog the data stored will be in:

 

      1. MONyog/data/: The connection configuration and collected data are kept here. There will be directories named like 0001, 0002, 0003, etc.

      2. MONyog/MONyog.ini: Installation file

      3. MONyog/MONyog.log: Log file

      4. MONyog/preferences.config: Configuration file

 

The data folder specified above is the default settings only. You can store in any position on any mapped/mounted drive that is writeable.

 

Top

 

9. How does MONyog store its data?

A: Except for two plain text files: the MONyog log file and a very small .ini file (that contains information about the port on which MONyog listens, The MONyog administrator password and the path to the data folder), everything is kept in high-performance database files (SQLite format).  

 

Top

 

10. Can I move a MONyog installation to another computer while keeping the data stored in MONyog database?

A: Yes, this is quite simple actually. Just install MONyog on the 2nd machine. After install stop the running MONyog service and copy the ..\MONyog\Data folder from the old installation. You may also copy the MONyog.log if you want. All the connection configuration and the data will be in 'data' directory. The error log is MONyog.log. And setting are stored in  'MONyog.ini' and 'preferences.config'. Copy all of them from your old installation onto new PC. After that start the service again.

11. Why am I getting "Failed dependency" error for libstdc++.so.5 during MONyog installation? How can I avoid this error?

A: Like all software also the Linux C/C++ code (kernel, compiler and shared libraries) are continuously developed. There are various ways to handle this when writing applications supposed to run on more different Linux versions. The solution that we use in MONyog is to link against older versions, so that MONyog will run on any Linux version from when this C/C++ version was first introduced and up. The specific versions are:

 

MONyog 32 bit binaries

Linux  : Red Hat Linux release 9
kernel : 2.4.20-8
gcc     : 3.2.2-5
glibc   : 2.3.2-11

 

MONyog 64 bit binaries

Linux  : CentOS release 4.6 (Final)
kernel : 2.6.9-67
gcc     : 3.4.6-9
glibc   : 2.3.4-2

 

The library file "libstdc++.so.5" is part of the GCC 3.2 runtime. So, after GCC 3.2 the C++ API changed effectively, the version of this library was updated from libstdc++.so.5 to  libstdc++.so.x. If you are running a GCC version above GCC 3.2 you may not have libstdc++.so.5 installed in your system by default and will throw error for missing libstdc++.so.5. In GCC 3.4 libstdc++ compatibility libraries are installed by default but in many recent Linux distributions this is an optional install.

 

For example:

You can avoid this error by manually installing this package from your package list or you may run the following command.

On Red Hat Enterprise and Fedora, the command to install the compatibility package is,

yum install compat-libstdc++-33

On Ubuntu, the command to install the compatibility package is,
sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

12. Can MONyog be configured as a virtual host in my 'ordinary' Apache webserver?

A: Yes... at least with Apache this is possible. In your Apache configuration file (httpd.conf) add something like this (where 'ip1.ip2.ip3.ip4' is the IP address you reserve for MONyog).

 

<VirtualHost monyog.mydomain.com>
ServerName monyog.mydomain.com
ServerAlias http://monyog.mydomain.com
Redirect permanent / http://<MONyogIPAddress>:<MONyogPort>/
</VirtualHost>

13. How can I access MONyog pages proxying through Apache webserver?

A: We can also access MONyog using Apache proxy. You need to follow these simple steps to configure your Apache server to support proxy.

 

Here, we will setup Proxy in system A and we assume that MONyog is installed in system B, now you can access MONyog using,

 "http://<ip-system-A>/monyog/".

 

                        5.  Add the following configuration in your Apache configuration file [/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf]

                             

ProxyRequests Off

                            

<Proxy *>

                              Order deny, allow

                              Allow from all

                              </Proxy>

 

                              ProxyHTMLExtended On

                              ProxyPass      /monyog/  http://<ip-system-B>:5555/

                              ProxyHTMLURLMap http://<ip-system-B>:5555/ /monyog/

 

                              <Location /monyog/>

                                     ProxyPassReverse /

                                     SetOutputFilter  proxy-html

                                     ProxyHTMLURLMap  /      /monyog/

                                     RequestHeader    unset  Accept-Encoding

                              </Location>

14. How can I access MONyog pages proxying through nginx?

You can also access MONyog using nginx proxy. You need to follow these simple steps to configure your nginx server to support proxy.

Here, we will setup Proxy in system A and we assume that MONyog is installed in system B, now you can access MONyog both over HTTP("http://<ip-system-A>")

and HTTPS("https://<ip-system-A>").

 

Configuration of System A:

1. Install nginx on your system.

2. Create directories

a. /var/log/nginx

b. /var/www/cache

3. Configure nginx: Open nginx.conf found in /etc/nginx and add the following in the http section:

proxy_cache_path  /var/www/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=my-cache:8m max_size=1000m inactive=600m;

proxy_temp_path /var/www/cache/tmp;

 

A sample nginx.conf would like the following:

user  nginx;

worker_processes  1;

error_log  /var/log/nginx/error.log debug;

pid        /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {

                              worker_connections  1024;

}

 

http {

   include       /etc/nginx/mime.types;

   default_type  application/octet-stream;

 

   log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '

 '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '

 '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

   access_log  /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

 

   sendfile        on;

   #tcp_nopush     on;

   keepalive_timeout  0;

 

   proxy_cache_path  /var/www/cache levels=1:2 keys_zone=my-cache:8m max_size=1000m inactive=600m;

   proxy_temp_path /var/www/cache/tmp;

 

   include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;

}

 

4. Put your SSL certificates in /etc/nginx/conf/

5. Create a monyog.conf file inside /etc/nginx/conf.d/ and add the following:

server {

server_name _;

listen 80;

location / {

proxy_pass http://<ip-system-B>:5555;

proxy_redirect     off;

 

proxy_cache my-cache;

proxy_cache_valid  200 302  0m;

proxy_cache_valid  404      0m;

 

proxy_set_header   Host             $host;

proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;

proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;

 

client_max_body_size       10m;

client_body_buffer_size    128k;

 

proxy_connect_timeout      9000;

proxy_send_timeout         9000;

proxy_read_timeout         9000;

 

proxy_buffer_size          4k;

proxy_buffers              4 32k;

proxy_busy_buffers_size    64k;

proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;

  }

}

server {

server_name _;

listen 443;

ssl on;

ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/conf/<certificate_name>.crt;

ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/conf/<certificate_key>.key;

location / {

proxy_pass http://<ip-system-B>:5555;

proxy_redirect     off;

 

proxy_cache my-cache;

proxy_cache_valid  200 302  0m;

proxy_cache_valid  404      0m;

proxy_set_header   Host             $host;

proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;

proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;

client_max_body_size       10m;

client_body_buffer_size    128k;

proxy_connect_timeout      9000;

proxy_send_timeout         9000;

proxy_read_timeout         9000;

proxy_buffer_size          4k;

proxy_buffers              4 32k;

proxy_busy_buffers_size    64k;

proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;

   }

15. Can I access MONyog pages using encrypted connection such as "https"?

A: Yes... you can access MONyog using "https", you may acquire a certificate from a certificate authority, such as Verisign or you may use the OpenSSL package to create your own certificate and configure your Apache webserver for "https".

 

Here are the steps you may follow to setup "https" in your Apache webserver.

 

1. Create a directory

               mkdir sslcert

    Now protect the directory,

               chmod 0700 sslcert

 

2. Create two subdirectories

               mkdir certs private

 

3. Create a database to keep track of each certificate

               echo '100001' >serial

               touch certindex.txt

 

4. Create a custom config file for OpenSSL to use similar to openssl.cnf in your /etc/pki/tls folder.

               dir = .

 

               [ ca ]

               default_ca = CA_default

 

               [ CA_default ]

               serial = $dir/serial

               database = $dir/certindex.txt

               new_certs_dir = $dir/certs

               certificate = $dir/cacert.pem

               private_key = $dir/private/cakey.pem

               default_days = 365

               default_md = md5

               preserve = no

               email_in_dn = no

               nameopt = default_ca

               certopt = default_ca

               policy = policy_match

 

               [ policy_match ]

               countryName = match

               stateOrProvinceName = match

               organizationName = match

               organizationalUnitName = optional

               commonName = supplied

               emailAddress = optional

 

               [ req ]

               default_bits = 1024 # Size of keys

               default_keyfile = key.pem # name of generated keys

               default_md = md5 # message digest algorithm

               string_mask = nombstr # permitted characters

               distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name

               req_extensions = v3_req

 

               [ req_distinguished_name ]

               0.organizationName = Organization Name (company)

               organizationalUnitName = Organizational Unit Name (department, division)

               emailAddress = Email Address

               emailAddress_max = 40

               localityName = Locality Name (city, district)

               stateOrProvinceName = State or Province Name (full name)

               countryName = Country Name (2 letter code)

               countryName_min = 2

               countryName_max = 2

               commonName = Common Name (hostname, IP, or your name)

               commonName_max = 64

 

               0.organizationName_default = My Company

               localityName_default = My Town

               stateOrProvinceName_default = State or Providence

               countryName_default = US

 

               [ v3_ca ]

               basicConstraints = CA:TRUE

               subjectKeyIdentifier = hash

               authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always,issuer:always

 

               [ v3_req ]

               basicConstraints = CA:FALSE

               subjectKeyIdentifier = hash

 

 

5. Create a root certificate

All other certificates you create will be based of this. Since this is not a commercial certificate software may complain when they use your certificates. You may give people the "public" certifcate and your certifcate will work like commercial ones when they import it.

 

To create, while in the 'sslcert' directory type:

 

openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout private/cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 365 -config ./openssl.cnf

 

You will be prompted for information and a password. Do not lose this password, make sure it is a secure one and back up the two files that are created.

 

The two files that are created are cacert.pem, which is the one you can give to others for import in their browsers and cakey.pem, which will be in the private directory.

 

 

6. Create a key and signing request

 

openssl req -new -nodes -out name-req.pem -keyout private/name-key.pem -config ./openssl.cnf

 

You will be prompted for information. The critical part is the "Common Name". This must be the server's hostname, such as mail.your.domain or the IP address. If you want to cover all subdomains you can enter *.your.domain. Use the "Organizational Unit" to remind you what the certificate is for, such as "Web Server". This will generate two files,

 

7. Sign the request

This will generate the certificate,

 

openssl ca -out name-cert.pem -config ./openssl.cnf -infiles name-req.pem

 

You will be prompted for the password used when creating the root certificate. Two files are created,

 

 

8.  Copy to the correct location

For apache 2.x on Red Hat using the default location, the directory is:

 

cp name-key.pem /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/

cp name-cert.pem /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/

 

 

9. Create a Virtual Host

<VirtualHost <ip-system-A>:443>

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html

    ServerName myserver

    ErrorLog /etc/httpd/logs/ssl_error_log

    TransferLog /etc/httpd/logs/ssl_access_log

    SSLEngine On

    SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/name-cert.pem

    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/name-key.pem

</VirtualHost>

 

10. Configure proxy in Apache described in FAQ 13 and restart Apache.

 

11. Edit the Hosts file [/etc/hosts]

<ip-system-A> myserver

16. What are the major differences between  other major MySQL Monitoring Tool and MONyog?

A: They have similarities (in which they both differ from server-side scripts used for monitoring): they both make use of a HTTP service, a database and both use a web-browser for reporting. Important differences are however,

Top

 

17. Can I trust the expertise of MONyog developers?

A: MONyog is developed by the Webyog Softworks that also created the most popular GUI for data management with the MySQL server - SQLyog Enterprise. We have more than 5 years of experience with designing MySQL related software. We have expanded our team with highly qualified developers ever since we started. We are devoted to constantly extending our knowledge and understanding of MySQL internals. What more would you expect?

 

Top

 

18. How does MONyog connect to MySQL?

A: MONyog uses the most proved and most efficient way of connecting: the native MySQL client library (the C-API) that is compiled into MONyog. Nothing else required: no separate client instance, no database abstraction layer (like ODBC/JDBC/ADO/.NET) and no webserver extensions (like PHP). Additionally, the connection can be 'wrapped' in a SSH tunnel. Also the MONyog implementation for this does not involve any other program (like Putty) running.

 

Top

 

19. Windows warns after installation that MONyog may not have installed properly.

A: This may happen on recent versions of Windows (Vista and higher) if you install a recent version of MONyog on top of an older version. The reason for this is that recent versions of Windows include a software called "Program Compatibility Assistant" (PCA) which tries to detect if an installer is running. It warns the user that the software might not have been correctly installed if the installer does not register a new uninstaller. The PCA is unable to detect changes made to an existing, registered uninstaller, which is what the new MONyog installers do. And thus, the warning is displayed.

 

You can safely ignore this warning, but if it bothers you, you may just uninstall MONyog before upgrading to 3.5+. All collected data in the MONyog data folder will still be available after reinstall. However, you should -

  1. Backup the connections.data file before uninstalling

  2. Restore the old connections.data after the new install. After a restart, MONyog will recognize connection settings in the old connections.data.

 

Top

 

20. I would like to use SSH-tunnel, but my Windows server does not support it. Can that be fixed?

A: Yes, SSH support can be installed on Windows. You may install a complete Cygwin (Unix command line implementation for Windows). Alternatively, there are small packages available that support only a small subset of Cygwin (like SSH packages). Installation details depends on the exact Windows version.

 

Top

 

21. MONyog throws an error when trying to connect to MySQL.

A: Please go through Error when trying to connect to MySQL. The same as here applies to MONyog as the client code is exactly the same in both programs. Observe however that everything related to HTTP-tunneling with SQLyog is not relevant for MONyog.

 

Top

 

22. Failed to connect to MySQL: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket... What can i do about this?

A: Ensure that the host specified resolves to an IP-adress. This error occurs with some Linux distributions (most important Debian) when specifying 'lcoalhost'. The system will map this to a Unix SOCKET file. MONyog connects through TCP and not to SOCKET. Try the ip '127.0.0.1' instead!

 

Top

 

23. MONyog is taking up too much of system resources with the PROCESSLIST-based sniffer.

A: You may have noticed that, while using the PROCESSLIST-based sniffer, MONyog increases the load on the CPU as well as the I/O subsystem of the system on which it is installed - even when the MySQL server is idle. Don't panic: it's normal. When using the PROCESSLIST-based sniffer, MONyog continually queries the MySQL server at the end of each time interval, which can be specified by you. It then retrieves the results and stores them in an internal sniffer database before displaying the results back to you. Now, if you set a very short time interval, one that almost approaches 0, then in actuality MONyog will almost be stuck in an infinite loop! Consequently, the load on the CPU and I/O subsystem will increase exponentially. We generally recommend an interval of not more than 0.1sec times the number of servers for which Processlist-based sniffers are enabled. However, if you're worried that you may miss out on some important queries running on the MySQL server, use the MySQL Proxy. The LUA script supplied with MONyog should handle the task for you very well! For more information on using MySQL Proxy with MONyog, click here.

24. Why is display of queries truncated in Query Analyzer?

A: When using Query Analyzer feature, you may notice that sometimes queries displayed in output are incomplete. This may be due to one of the three known causes:

 

Top

 

25. The servers that I have registered do not display. What is wrong?

A: When you REGISTER a server it will not automatically become SELECTED. Only SELECTED servers will display. If you have lots of MySQL servers you would probably not want to display them all at the same time. You can REGISTER all servers (and data will be collected from those by the MONyog service running) and SELECT/DESELECT whatever server you want to display at the moment.

26. Now, anybody will be able to connect to my MONyog server and retrieve details about MySQL servers.

A: Of course not! The MONyog authentication system will ensure that only those people that should have access have!

 

Top

 

27. I have the same server registered twice. Metrics are reported different. Why?

A: For every registered server MONyog collects data independently. That is also the case when a server has been registered twice. Even if they were registered at the same time and even if the chosen sample interval is the same too, the connection and the server will have some latency and data will not be retrieved simultaneously. For that reason MONyog may (or rather will) retrieve and store slightly different values for each connection.

 

This is most visible in the 'Delta' timeframe and least visible in the 'Current/all' timeframe. For GROUPING with 'History/Trends' the difference for each GROUP will depend on the selected grouping interval. Due to laws of statistics the difference will be less the longer the time interval (theoretically/statistically they will converge more and more the closer time interval and/or the no. of samples comes to infinity). Practically, you will rarely need more than around 20 samples in a GROUP for the difference to be negligible.

 

Top

 

28. Will it affect the performance of a server if MONyog connects to it?

A: It will practically not on real 'live' servers. The queries sent by MONyog use almost no resources. We do not query data stored on disk and what we do query is stored in memory on the server. However if you are testing MONyog using a server instance that does almost nothing else and if you retrieve data at very short intervals the impact of MONyog may be slightly observable. The special Processlist feature (unique) may take a little more resources if there are lots of processes/client threads running. But MONyog only sends queries related to this when the corresponding MONyog client interface (the MONyog 'processlist' page) is open. Switching to another page or closing the browser will stop sending the queries populating the MONyog processlist.

 

Top

 

29. Is it possible to avoid that MONyog itself influences certain counters reported?

A: MONyog is a client. When it connects the MySQL server will start a connection thread. And that connection will be reported by MONyog. That cannot be avoided. The processlist feature has an option to 'filter out' MONyog connection - as well as other connections from other clients if you want - using a simple SELECT statement.

31. I cannot sit watching a browser all the time - Can I get alerts if something goes wrong?

A: Yes, you can choose to get notifications (email and/or SNMP traps) independently for every server and you can define your own warning levels and select what counters should raise an alert.

32. MONyog cannot identify if destination of the log file is on a "Mapped Network Drive". Why?

A: By default MONyog service runs under Local System Account. If you are having Slow query or General query log in a Mapped Network Drive, MONyog will not be able to reach it. If MONyog has to access the file present in a Mapped Network Drive, you have to convert the path into shared path (accessed with UNC notation: \\system\share) and then follow these steps:

After following the above steps try to access the file which is shared across network.

NOTE:
The shared path should be accessed with UNC notation (\\system\share). MONyog cannot identify if destination of the log file is on a Mapped Network Drive (this is a restriction with services on Windows and not with MONyog).

33. Failed to connect to MySQL: Unknown MySQL server host... What can i do about this?

A: You get this error if MONyog cannot resolve the hostname of a MySQL server. Ensure that other programs like ping, telnet, MySQL shell client

 are able to resolve the hostname to an IP-address.

 If yes, check "/etc/nsswitch.conf" of MONyog host. If the hosts section reads "files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4",

 please change it to "files mdns4_minimal dns mdns4" or "files dns". This is introduced in some current Linux distribution.

 

 If other programs are not able to resolve the hostname, please check if host to ip resolution is properly defined inside "/etc/host" or in DNS server.
