Description:
This expression in MySQL Enterprise Monitor:

(%have_innodb% == "YES") && ((%innodb_log_file_size% * %innodb_log_files_in_group%) < LEAST(1073741824, (%innodb_buffer_pool_size% / 2))) 

Should be changed to <= instead of <

Otherwise, let's assume that the innodb_buffer_pool_size is set to 2GB, and that the log files are made 512Mb *exactly* then the following evaluated expression would occur:

("YES" == "YES") && ((536870912 * 2) < LEAST(1073741824, (2147483648 / 2)))
i.e. 1073741824 < LEAST(1073741824, 1073741824)

And so an alert would fire, while the 'result' that this expression is trying to obtain (to increase the InnoDB Log files total size to at least half that of the innodb_buffer_pool_size) is already obtained.

How to repeat:
As per the above.

Suggested fix:
Change expression to:

(%have_innodb% == "YES") && ((%innodb_log_file_size% * %innodb_log_files_in_group%) <= LEAST(1073741824, (%innodb_buffer_pool_size% / 2))) 

i.e. <= instead of <

An entry was added to both the 2.1.0 and 2.0.6 changelogs:

In the Advisor “Administration” the Rule “InnoDB Redo Logs Not Sized Correctly” did not fire correctly. The rule contained the expression:

(%have_innodb% == "YES") && ((%innodb_log_file_size% * %innodb_log_files_in_group%) <
LEAST(1073741824, (%innodb_buffer_pool_size% / 2))) 

This was incorrect and needed to be changed to:

(%have_innodb% == "YES") && ((%innodb_log_file_size% * %innodb_log_files_in_group%) <=
LEAST(1073741824, (%innodb_buffer_pool_size% / 2)))
