The MONyog Object model abstracts all OS/MySQL values required for calculating all performance metric. It relieves the user from performing low level tasks like connecting to the servers, executing SQL statement, checking return codes etc.
Values from MOM are used to calculate and display metric, check thresholds, send notification mails, etc.
All output returned from
the "SHOW GLOBAL STATUS" is available as MONyog.MySQL.GlobalStatus.*.
For example: to get the value of Uptime status variable, you can use
MySQL.GlobalStatus.Uptime.
Similarly the following Object Models are defined:
"SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES" is available as MONyog.MySQL.GlobalVariables.*
"SHOW GLOBAL STATUS" is available as MONyog.MySQL.GlobalStatus.*
"SHOW SLAVE STATUS" is available as MONyog.MySQL.Slave.*
All OS counters like CPU, Memory, etc., are available as MONyog.System.*
MONyog Attribute Reference - "Monitors" Interface
Please remember that the value of the attribute can be any expression of arbitrary complexity. These expressions can make function calls, define JS class - do anything that is possible using the JS language.
Group: This defines the Group to which this counter belongs to. All counters containing the same string in the Group Name are shown together in "Monitors" report.
Name: The name of the metric.
Formula: The formula that should be shown to the user. Note: This is a display-only property is not used for calculation. (Optional)
Value: The actual value for this metric. As discussed earlier, it can contain any expression of arbitrary complexity. Generally, expressions are constructed using one or more values from the MONyog Object Model (MOM).
DocText: A detailed description of this metric. This is also shown as a tool tip when the user points the mouse over the metric. (Optional)
Warning: The value for the Warning threshold for this metric. (Optional)
Critical: The value for the Critical threshold for this metric. (Optional). To specify different threshold values for various servers based on tags or server names refer MOM variable for MONyog tags and server names
AlertCondition: This attribute expects an expression that should evaluate to one the following 3 values: "Critical", "Warning" or "None". Generally, a JS expression or function is specified which compares some of the MOM values to the Warning or Critical threshold values defined above. (Optional)
WarmUpRequired: A values of "Yes" specifies that this metric makes sense only if the server is running for a minimum period of time. If the server is not running for the minimum period, AlertCondition won't be evaluated and no alerts would be displayed or notified. The current version of MONyog has a hard-coded value of 3 hours. Future versions of MONyog will allow the user to change the "minimum period". (Optional)
MailAlert: Specifies whether the user wants mail alerts for this metric in case the thresholds are crossed. (Optional)
Graph: This value defines whether real-time graphs are shown for this metric. (Optional)
Bargraph: This value defines whether Percentage type value should be plotted as Bar Graph. (Optional)
Uptime: This value determines whether this metric contain cumulative values. Cumulative values are those values which always increase continuously since server startup (or since last FLUSH STATUS). For example: Connection Attempts. The value of Connection Attempts is always incremented by the MySQL server. Cumulative values are treated differently from "point in time" values like "Currently Running Threads".
If a metric is Cumulative you should always set the value of this attribute to a constant expression: "MONyog.MySQL.GlobalStatus.Uptime"
Format: The display format of various counters. The only possible value currently applicable is - NumCounterWithSeconds. This specifies whether the metric values should also be displayed in "per second" value.
AdviceText: The advice text that is shown to a user whenever any AlertCondition evaluates to "Critical" or "Warning". This text is also shown as the tool tip when the user points the mouse over the alert icons.
RetryOverride: A MOM variable that takes an integer value and overrides the server-level "Send notification when alert-able" setting at the counter-level. Note: It does not take the value "0".
NotifyStableOverride: A MOM variable that takes either "Yes" or "No" as a value and overrides the server-level "Notify when stable" setting at the counter-level.
MOM variables for MONyog tags and server names: Tags and server names that are used in MONyog are exposed as MONyog Object Model(MOM) variables. MONyog.Connections.TagName returns an array of tags for that server. MONyog.Connections.ConnectionName
gives the name of that server. This can be extremely useful while setting different threshold levels (based on tags or server names) for a monitor. Example:
The following can be added to the critical/warning field in Add/Edit server->View Advanced to set server and
tag specific thresholds.
// Threshold based on server names
if(MONyog.Connections.ConnectionName == "Testserver")
return 80; // Threshold value for 'Testserver' is 80
if(MONyog.Connections.ConnectionName == "Productionserver")
return 50;
// Thresholds based on tag names
if(MONyog.Connections.TagName.indexOf("SomeTag") >=0 )
return 10; // Threshold value for 'SomeTag' is 10
if(MONyog.Connections.TagName.indexOf("SomeOtherTag") >=0 )
return 39;
Example of a Monitor(Percentage of max allowed reached) that is customized to receive alerts based on server names and tags.
MONyog Attribute Reference - Dashboard Interface
Caption: The label for a graph.
SeriesCaption: Array containing labels for every series in a graph.
Uptime: See the section for "MONyog Attribute Reference - Monitors Interface". (Optional)
SeriesValues: Array containing the values of each series in a graph.
ChartType: The type of chart. Possible value is "RealTimeLine".
ChartValue: The type to plot the actual values of the seconds_behind_master where it is the difference between the 2 intervals. It can plot the values in 2 ways:
Delta
Current
And the default is 'Delta'.
Y-AxisType: Possible values are "OnOff" only. This is a special time of Y-Axis plotting that has only 2 possible values - "On" or "Off". This type of graph is useful for plotting Availability status of MySQL/OS across a timeframe. (Optional)
