Unraveling MySQLcheck: A Comprehensive Guide to Database Maintenance

MySQLcheck stands as a formidable tool in the arsenal of database administrators, offering a spectrum of functionalities aimed at fortifying the health and performance of CyburDial databases. Let’s explore the myriad uses of MySQLcheck, accompanied by practical code examples, including MySQL checks, repairs, and the utilization of --use_frm.

Understanding MySQLcheck

MySQLcheck is a command-line utility bundled with MySQL, designed to perform various maintenance tasks on databases and tables. It facilitates routine checks, repairs, and optimizations, ensuring the integrity and efficiency of CyburDial databases.

1. MySQL Checks

mysqlcheck --check asterisk

This command checks all tables in the cyburdial database for errors, providing a comprehensive overview of the database’s health status.

2. Table Repairs

mysqlcheck --repair asterisk

Here, MySQLcheck specifically repairs the users table in the cyburdial database, addressing any detected errors or inconsistencies.

3. Leveraging --use_frm

The --use_frm option instructs MySQLcheck to utilize table definition files (.frm files) for table maintenance operations.

mysqlcheck --use_frm --check asterisk

By employing --use_frm, MySQLcheck enhances compatibility and flexibility in handling table maintenance tasks, ensuring seamless operations across different MySQL versions and configurations.

4. Auto Repair

mysqlcheck –all-databases –auto-repair

Best Practices and Considerations

  1. Regular Maintenance: Schedule routine MySQLcheck operations to proactively identify and address potential database issues before they escalate.
  2. Backup Your Data: Before executing repairs or optimizations, always backup your CyburDial database to mitigate the risk of data loss.
  3. Monitor Performance: Monitor database performance metrics and conduct periodic checks to optimize query execution and resource utilization.
  4. Stay Informed: Stay abreast of MySQLcheck updates and best practices to leverage its full potential in maintaining CyburDial databases.

In conclusion, MySQLcheck serves as a stalwart ally in the realm of database maintenance, empowering administrators to uphold the integrity and performance of CyburDial databases. By embracing MySQLcheck’s versatile capabilities and integrating it into your maintenance regimen, you can fortify your CyburDial infrastructure for optimal reliability and efficiency.

Stay tuned for more insights and tips on maximizing the potential of your CyburDial system!

Happy database maintenance!

How to – Optimize your database using the MySQL tuning tool

How to – Optimize your database using the MySQL tuning tool

This article will go over how to optimize your database using the mysql-tuning tool included in your extras directory. The great thing about this tool is you can keep using it. You can use it after your initial install all the way through your finished using ViciDial.

MySQL tuning

Step 1 – Change your location to the extras directory

First we need to change our location to the extras directory for astguiclient with the commands below:

cd /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/extras

Step 2 – Give mysql-tuning.sh executable permissions

The file we need to use is mysql-tuning.sh and by default it’s not executable, so we need to give it that permission. You can do this simply by typing:

chmod +x mysql-tuning.sh

Step 3 – Run the tuner

Now you can run the tuning program by typing:

./mysql-tuning.sh

MySQL tuning

If it tells you that you have an unsupported version of MySQL, copy and paste the code below into a file called MyTuner.sh:

#!/bin/sh

Now make it executable by typing: chmod +x MyTuner.sh and run it by typing: ./MyTuner.sh

Step 4 – Update your settings accordingly

Now change your my.cnf file with the changes shown in the tuner.

That’s it, I hope this helped

How to – Setup a slave DB for a scratch installed ViciDial

How to – Setup a slave DB for a scratch installed ViciDial

This Article will go over how to setup a slave database server for your ViciDial cluster when using a scratch installed server bunch. For this particular example I have used Alma Linux 8.5 which installs Mysql 10.3.28, if you followed my scratch instructions. This process was a pain in the arse, but after much trial and error I was able to get it done and here is how I did it:

Step 1 – Edit the MySQL config file

Add these lines to /etc/my.cnf below [mysqld] on both the master and slave database:

log_bin=/var/lib/mysql/mysql-bin
relay_log=/var/lib/mysql/mysql-relay-bin
binlog_format=mixed
binlog_direct_non_transactional_updates=1
datadir = /srv/mysql/data
log-bin=mysql-bin
server-id       = 1
slave-skip-errors = 1032,1690,1062
replicate-ignore-db=mysql
replicate-do-db=asterisk
slave_parallel_threads=40
slave-parallel-mode=optimistic
slave_parallel_max_queued=5242880

Step 2 – Create the slave user on both servers

Go into MySQL and create the slave user and do this on both servers

CREATE USER 'slave'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'slave1234';
CREATE USER 'slave'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'slave1234';
GRANT SELECT, CREATE, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP, INDEX on asterisk.* TO slave@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'slave1234';
GRANT SELECT, CREATE, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP, INDEX on asterisk.* TO slave@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'slave1234';
grant replication slave on . to slave@'%' identified by 'slave1234';
grant replication slave on . to slave@'localhost' identified by 'slave1234';
flush privileges;
image 9
Create slave user on both the master and slave DB

Step 3 – Change some setting on the slave DB

Now we need to change some of the settings for the slave DB and add a couple more lines. Change the server-id to 2 instead of 1 in /etc/my.cnf and add the read_only=1 and report-host=whatever the slave DB host is

server-id=2
# read only yes
read_only=1
# define own hostname
report-host=slavedb.yourserver.com

Step 4 – Restart the MySQL services on both servers

Run the following command on both servers:

service mysql restart

Step 5 – Create the MySQL dump to send over to the slave DB from the master

We need to create the MySQL dump and send it over to the slave using the scp command like so:

mkdir /home/mariadb_backup
mariabackup --backup --target-dir /home/mariadb_backup -u root
image 10
Create MySQL dump file

Once thats done go ahead and zip up the files and send the file over by typing the following:

cd /home/mariadb_backup
zip -r mysqldump.zip *
scp mysqldump.zip 192.168.1.10:/root/

Why we are here, lets lock the MySQL tables on the master:

mysql
FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;
exit

Step 6 – Connect to Slave DB and extract the files and load it into the slave

ssh into your slave db server and change directory to /root then create the folder and extract the files like so:

cd /root
mkdir mariadb_backup
mv mysqldump.zip mariadb_backup/
cd mariadb_backup/
unzip mysqldump.zip
systemctl stop mariadb
rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/*
image 11

Now run the following commands that are BOLD to import the MySQL dump and set its position to match that of the master.

# run prepare task before restore task (OK if [completed OK])
[root@node01 ~]# mariabackup --prepare --target-dir /root/mariadb_backup

Step 7 – Unlock the Master DB

Now go back into the master DB and unlock the tables:

mysql
unlock tables;

Step 8 – Set the Slave DB in ViciDIal

Now you can set the slave server info in ViciDial by going into the admin GUI and going into system settings. Set the slave DB server IP and choose which reports you want to display from it.
