Profile log paths for MySQL and Apache

Profile log paths for MySQL and Apache

For devices with Linux operating systems, there are a number of different log paths for MySQL and Apache logs, depending on the version of the OS.

* 
NOTE: Only one log path can be defined in a profile. You must create multiple profiles for multiple logs.

For up-to-date tables of the log paths for MySQL and Apache logs, go to http://www.itninja.com/blog/view/mysqland-apache-profile-log-path-locations.

Upload a profile that was created by another user

Upload a profile that was created by another user

If another user has made a custom profile available for use by others, you can upload it into your appliance.

You have access to an XML profile file created by another user.

1.
Go to the Profiles list page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Monitoring, then click Profiles.
2.
Select Choose Action > Upload Profiles to display the Upload Profiles dialog.
3.
Click Choose File to navigate to the profile you want to upload, choose it, then click Upload.
You can select more than one profile.

The profile or profiles appear at the bottom of the Profiles list.

You can edit the new profile, if needed. See Edit a profile.

Bind an additional profile to a device

When you enable monitoring on a device, the appliance assigns, or binds, to the device the default profile and the default log path that is appropriate for the device's operating system.

Go to the Monitoring Detail page:

Click the name of a device to display the Monitoring Detail page.
