Access to the KADA Collector repository that contains the MySQL whl

  • The repository is currently hosted in KADA’s Azure Blob Storage. You will be given a SAS token to access the repository. Reach out to KADA Support (support@kada.ai) if you do not have access.

  • Download the MySQL whl (e.g. kada_collectors_extractors_mySQL-#.#.#-py3-none-any.whl)

MySQL Requirements

  • Access to MySQL. Supported MySQL versions include:

    • 5.7x

    • 8.0x

  • Access to the following Information Schema tables

    1. INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS

    2. INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES

    3. INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS

Step 1: Enabling logging (if desired)

Info

See more information about logging here - https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/log-destinations.html

Note this study Impact of General Query Log on MySQL Performance and the performance impact of enabling logging.

Enable global logging

Code Block
SET GLOBAL log_output = 'TABLE';
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'ON';

...

Code Block
SET @old_log_state = @@GLOBAL.general_log;
SET GLOBAL general_log = 'OFF';
ALTER TABLE mysql.general_log ENGINE = MyISAM;
ALTER TABLE mysql.slow_log ENGINE = MyISAM;
ALTER TABLE mysql.general_log ADD INDEX (event_time);
ALTER TABLE mysql.slow_log ADD INDEX (start_time);
SET GLOBAL general_log = @old_log_state;

Note this study Impact of General Query Log on MySQL Performance and the performance impact of enabling logging.

...

Step 2: Create the Source in K

...

Some python packages also have dependencies on the OS level packages, so you may be required to install additional OS packages if the below fails to install.

You can download the latest Core Library and whl via Platform Settings → SourcesDownload Collectors

...

Run the following command to install the collector

Code Block
pip install kada_collectors_extractors_mysql-3.0.0-py3-<version>-none-any.whl

You will also need to install the common library kada_collectors_lib -1.0.0 for this collector to function properly.

Code Block
pip install kada_collectors_lib-1.0.0-py3<version>-none-any.whl

...

Step 5: Configure the Collector

...

The MySQL collector only extracts metadata and does not extract or process query usage on the database.

FIELD

FIELD TYPE

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

username

string

Username to log into MySQL

“myuser”

password

string

Password to log into MySQL

“password”

server

string

The server to connect to the MySQL instance, if the MySQL instance uses a port other than the default port, use a comma to indicate the port e.g. local.example.com,3309

local.example.com

local.example.com,3309”

host_name

string

The onboarded host in K for the MySQL Source

“local.example.com”

database_name

string

The onboarded database name in K for the MySQL Source, this will be the same as the source name for MySQL

“mysqldb”

meta_only

boolean

If logging is not enabled, set this to true

true

output_path

string

Absolute path to the output location where files are to be written

“/tmp/output”

mask

boolean

To enable masking or not

true

compress

boolean

To enable compression or not to .csv.gz

true

use_ssl

boolean

If the MySQL instances uses SSL

true

These parameters can be added directly into the run or you can use pass the parameters in via a JSON file. The following is an example you can use that is included in the example run code below.

...

This is the wrapper script: kada_mysql_analytics_extractor.py

Code Block
import os
import argparse
from kada_collectors.extractors.utils import load_config, get_hwm, publish_hwm, get_generic_logger
from kada_collectors.extractors.oracle_analyticsmysql import Extractor

get_generic_logger('root') # Set to use the root logger, you can change the context accordingly or define your own logger

_type = 'mysql'
dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__)
filename = os.path.join(dirname, 'kada_{}_extractor_config.json'.format(_type))

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='KADA MySQL Extractor.')
parser.add_argument('--config', '-c', dest='config', default=filename, help='Location of the configuration json, default is the config json in the same directory as the script.')
parser.add_argument('--name', '-n', dest='name', default=_type, help='Name of the collector instance.')
args = parser.parse_args()

start_hwm, end_hwm = get_hwm(_typeargs.name)

ext = Extractor(**load_config(args.config))
ext.test_connection()
ext.run(**{"start_hwm": start_hwm, "end_hwm": end_hwm})

publish_hwm(_type, end_hwm)

...

If you wish to maintain your own high water mark files elsewhere you can use the above section’s script as a guide on how to call the extractor. The configuration file is simply the keyword arguments in JSON format. Refer to this document for more information https://kadaai.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KSL/pages/1902411777/AdditionalCollector+Integration+General+Notes#Storing-HWM-in-another-location

If you are handling external arguments of the runner yourself, you’ll need to consider additional items for the run method. Refer to this document for more information https://kadaai.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KSL/pages/1902411777/AdditionalCollector+Integration+General+Notes#The-run-method

Code Block
from kada_collectors.extractors.mysql import Extractor

kwargs = {my args} # However you choose to construct your args
hwm_kwrgs = {"start_hwm": "end_hwm": } # The hwm values

ext = Extractor(**kwargs)
ext.run(**hwm_kwrgs)

...

If you want prefer file managed hwm, you can edit the location of the hwn by following these instructions Additional Collector Integration General Notes

Step 8: Push the Extracts to K
