Bug #75756	mysqlmonitoragent install add to group in MEM console

Version:		OS:	Any
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
It would be nice if there was a switch to add the device to a group in the MEM console other than "all servers" when installing the agent

How to repeat:
run ./mysqlmonitoragent-*-installer.bin and the device is added to the all servers group in the mem console. it would be nice to have a cmd line switch when installing the agent to add it to another group.

Suggested fix:
example:
./mysqlmonitoragent-2.3.12.2174-linux-glibc2.3-x86-64bit-installer.bin --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui minimal --debuglevel 0 --mysqluser agent --mysqlpassword agent44 --createaccount 1 --agentuser user --agentpassword password --managerhost managementhost --add-to-group "nonprod"

the above example would run the installer with some options and add it to a group in the mem console named "nonprod"

Hi Brendan,

You should be able to achieve this using the following command-line option for the agent installer:
 --mysqlconnectiongroup <mysqlconnectiongroup>

Was this not working as expected? Or perhaps you just missed it?

Thank you for the feedback!

Best Regards,

Matt

This feature already exists, use the --mysqlconnectiongroup flag with the unattended installer, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-monitor/3.0/en/mem-unattended-installation-cmdline-options-...

Just to make it clear, the add-to-group feature is in the MEM 3.0 Agent installer, but the original inquiry referenced MEM 2.3, which does not have it.

wow, you guys fixed that pretty fast! ;)
i thought i was looking at the 3.0 flags page but now it's clear that i was not (and hence, the flag was not listed there). thanks for setting me straight.
