Description:
Based on changes we have made to the Agent in our upcoming 2.2 release, please make the following changes to the Agent installer.
1) New parameters in INI file
-----------------------------
The following 2 new parameters need to be added to the INI file, but *only on Windows*:
lua-cpath=!\\lua-?.dll
lua-path=!\\..\\lib\\mysql-proxy\\lua\\?.lua;!\\..\\lib\\mysql-monitor-agent\\lua\\?.lua
We have added them to the INI file template, but commented out. What would be best is if they appear as above, and uncommented, when installing on Windows, and don't appear at all when installing on other platforms.
Note that we have observed that after installation the above lines end up as follows:
lua-cpath=!\\\\lua-?.dll
lua-path=!\\\\..\\\\lib\\\\mysql-proxy\\\\lua\\\\?.lua;!\\\\..\\\\lib\\\\mysql-monitor-agent\\\\lua\\\\?.lua
So it appears that the installer is escaping the backslashes during installation. Please be sure that when they show up, they match the first form exactly.
2) The libexec subdirectory is not needed on Windows
----------------------------------------------------
Along with bin, lib, and others, there's a new libexec subdirectory. However, this subdirectory should not be included on Windows. We see how to remove it in mysql-monitor-agent.xml for Windows, but it is not clear to us how to do the same thing in mysql-monitor-agent-update-module.xml, so we are temporarily adding an empty libexec subdirectory to keep everything working. Please update the project XML files accordingly so we can stop manually adding this on Windows.
3) Generating the Agent UUID
----------------------------
Please generate the Agent UUID as follows:
mysql-proxy --plugins=agent --agent-generate-uuid
The differences between this and the way you do it now are:
1) Using mysql-proxy.exe instead of msyql-monitor-agent
2) Don't pass the --defaults-file parameter
The reason is that mysql-proxy.exe is the same as mysql-monitor-agent.exe, but without a service interface, so it starts faster.
