How to see server resources from their point of view

-

In this article I have tried to explain how flow of information is seen from a resource point of view.

I know this is very basic, but remember good knowledge of basic things help you understand more complex things easily.

This knowledge will also help you to create or understand monitoring graph provided by various applications like Percona Monitoring and Management.

PS: I am not in their marketing team, I just have done hands on it and I love it that's why mentioned here. 😄



I believe the image is self explanatory but defining the terms here for completeness.

CPU

No Description.

Memory

Pages read from disk and written to Memory.

Pages read from Memory and written to disk.

Disk

Pages read from Disk and written to memory.

Pages read from memory and written to Disk.

Network Interface

When information is send to the Network interface, it is called Request/Bytes Read/Inbound and when it is retrieved from Network Interface then it is called Response/Bytes Written/Outbound.

error 18 at 0 depth lookup: self signed certificate

-
I was trying to test SSL connection between MySQL client and server. For that I created SSL certificate and keys by following the MySQL documentation at: Creating SSL Certificates and Keys Using openssl After finishing up all the commands when I verify the certificates by using: openssl verify -CAfile ca.pem server-cert.pem client-cert.pem I got the following output: error 18 at 0 depth lookup : self signed certificate error server-cert.pem: verification failed client-cert.pem: OK  Reason : The Common Name value used for the server and client certificates/keys must each differ from the Common Name value used for the CA certificate. Otherwise, the certificate and key files will not work for servers compiled using OpenSSL. Solution : When OpenSSL prompts you for the Common Name for each certificate, use different names. Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []: I used values as follows: CA Cert:  ssl-ca-cert Server Cert: ssl-ca-server-cert Client Cer...

How to check fragmentation in MySQL tables

-
MySQL tables, including MyISAM and InnoDB, two of the most common types, experience fragmentation as data is inserted, updated and deleted randomly. Fragmentation can leave large holes in your table, blocks which must be read when scanning the table. Optimizing your table can therefore make full table scans and range scans more efficient. We will mention how to check fragmentation in MySQL tables using SQL queries. USE < put_your_dbname_here > SELECT TABLE_NAME, CONCAT(ROUND(( data_length + index_length ) / ( 1024 * 1024 ), 2), 'M') TOTAL_SIZE, CONCAT(ROUND(( DATA_FREE ) / ( 1024 * 1024 ), 2), 'M') DATA_FREE FROM information_schema.TABLES where table_schema = database() and ROUND(( DATA_FREE ) / ( 1024 * 1024 ), 2) > 0.00 ORDER BY DATA_FREE DESC; SELECT TABLE_NAME, ROUND(((Data_length - (TABLE_ROWS * Avg_row_length))/Data_length) * 100, 2) FRAG_Percent FROM information_schema.TABLES where table_schema = database() and TABLE_ROWS > 0 ...

How to Drop or Remove or Decommission a Database in Oracle Database Decommission steps for Oracle 10G and 11g databases Note: ~~~~~~~~ Every organization has its own documented way of removing or decommissioning the active/running database that is supporting an Enterprise’s Application. Here I am presenting some general steps which may coincide with your organization’s standard operation procedure (SOP). 1)   Please get the required approval from Business/Customer to proceed for database decommissioning. 2)   Send the Notification to Business/Customer that we are going to decommission the database. (if required) 3)   Raise a Request for Storage and Backup team to take the required backup (provide all the details in the raised request) and to keep the Backup for a specified period of time, say for next 2 years, (That is called the backup retention period). Retention Period may be varied based on your business needs and SLA. The backup can...
