MySQL 8.3 Release Notes
This section describes the installation of the server and client OpenTelemetry support.
To install the server component, run the following command:
install component 'file://component_telemetry';To confirm the component is present in your server, run the following query:
mysql> select * from mysql.component;
+--------------+--------------------+------------------------------------+
| component_id | component_group_id | component_urn |
+--------------+--------------------+------------------------------------+
| 1 | 1 | file://component_validate_password |
| 2 | 2 | file://component_telemetry |
+--------------+--------------------+------------------------------------+
If component_telemetry is present in the
component_urn column, the component is
installed.
The component installation also adds telemetry-specific system variables.
mysql> show variables like "%telemetry%";
