Unmonitored MySQL Instances

This section lists the running MySQL instances which have been detected but not added to the system. You can monitor, ignore, or cancel these connections if pending.

To begin monitoring one, or more, of the unmonitored instances, select them using the check boxes and click Monitor Instances. The add instance dialog is displayed and is auto-populated with the agent name, instance address, and so on. For more information on adding connections, see Section 16.3.1, “Adding a MySQL Instance”.

To ignore instances, make your selection and click Ignore Instances. A check box, Display n ignored instances is displayed, where n is the number of instances ignored. To undo the ignore, and display the instance, check the Display n ignored instances check box, select the instance and click Show Instance.

If no unmonitored instances are present, the ignored instances are listed instead.

Important

If an ignored instance is uninstalled, the ignored instance is removed from the list of unmonitored instances.

To cancel a pending connection, select the pending connection and click Cancel Pending Connections.
