MYSQL-ZRM-REPORTER.CONF(5)

💖 mysql-zrm-reporter.conf(5) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about the glow-up config file for the ZRM for MySQL reporter — yes, the one that decides how pretty your backup reports look. it's giving aesthetic 🌸

---

✨ NAME ✨

mysql-zrm-reporter.conf</purl> — the configuration file for the ZRM reporter for MySQL 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

/etc/mysql-zrm/mysql-zrm-reporter.conf

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕: the ZRM for MySQL reporter utility reads the mysql-zrm-reporter.conf configuration file. this file is literally the stylist for your reports — it specifies the report format for each backup parameter. 💅

and if the configuration file isn't found? no stress, no drama. the reporter utility will just use the default format for the parameter. it always has a backup outfit ready. 👑

---

✨ SYNTAX ✨

here's the syntax for all mysql-zrm-reporter.conf parameters, bestie. write it down. 📝

every parameter except backup-date is specified as:

parameter = Width,Alignment

and backup-date is the special one — it gets an extra format specifier:

backup-date = Width,Alignment,format

that format specifier uses the exact same specification conventions used by FORMAT controls documented in the date(1) command. iykyk 🕰️

all parameters are optional and come with default values — so you literally cannot mess this up by doing nothing, we love a low-stakes config. 🙌

white space is ignored unless it's enclosed within quotes. and every single line beginning with # is treated as a comment — aka ignored, ghosted, blocked. 🚫

now let's break down the pieces:

• parameter — this is the backup run parameter name. the main character, if you will. 🌟
• Width — the number of characters to be displayed for that field. if the value does not fit in the specified width, the value will wrap around into multiple lines in the report. it's flexible like that. 🧚
• Alignment — this specifies the alignment for the field value in the backup reports:
  • < displays the field value with left justification
  • > means right justification
  • | means center justification 🎯

wanna know what all the parameter names actually mean? the description of parameter names lives in mysql-zrm-reporter(1) and in the Zmanda Recovery Manager for MySQL manual over at http://mysql-backup.zmanda.com/ — go read it, it's important fr fr 💖
