MySQL Bugs: #89720: MySQL Enterprise Monitor : Cannot use parameter agent

Bug #89720	MySQL Enterprise Monitor : Cannot use parameter agent_installtype in optionfile
Submitted:	19 Feb 2018 19:01	Modified:	20 Feb 2018 17:46
Reporter:	Maxence LEBORGNE	Email Updates:
Status:	Verified	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Enterprise Monitor: Agent	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	4.0.3	OS:	Any
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	x86

Description:
When trying to install the agent in standalone mode (without configuring a database to be monitored), when using the parameter "agent_installtype=standalone" inside the reponse file of an unattended installation, the installer fails with "Unknown option: --agent-installtype"
This parameter seems to works only outside of the reponse file.

[ root@myhostname:/tmp]$ cat mem_agent_install.txt
installdir=/opt/mysql/enterprise/agent
agent-installtype=standalone
managerhost=memsrv.domain.com
managerport=443
agentuser=agent
agentpassword=mypassword
mode=unattended
unattendedmodeui=minimal
[ root@myhostname:/tmp]$ ./mysqlmonitoragent-4.0.3.5192-linux-x86-64bit-installer.bin --optionfile mem_agent_install.txt
Error: There has been an error.
Unknown option: --agent-installtype
Use --help to get a list of valid options

How to repeat:
## This does not work :

[ root@myhostname:/tmp]$ cat mem_agent_install.txt
installdir=/opt/mysql/enterprise/agent
agent-installtype=standalone
managerhost=memsrv.domain.com
managerport=443
agentuser=agent
agentpassword=mypassword
mode=unattended
unattendedmodeui=minimal
[ root@myhostname:/tmp]$ ./mysqlmonitoragent-4.0.3.5192-linux-x86-64bit-installer.bin --optionfile mem_agent_install.txt
Error: There has been an error.
Unknown option: --agent-installtype
Use --help to get a list of valid options

## With agent-installtype outside, this works :

[ root@myhostname:/tmp]$ cat mem_agent_install.txt
installdir=/opt/mysql/enterprise/agent
managerhost=memsrv.domain.com
managerport=443
agentuser=agent
agentpassword=mypassword
mode=unattended
unattendedmodeui=minimal
[ root@myhostname:/tmp]$ ./mysqlmonitoragent-4.0.3.5192-linux-x86-64bit-installer.bin --agent-installtype=standalone --optionfile mem_agent_install.txt

Suggested fix:
Being able to put "agent_installtype" inside the reponse file.

Hello Maxence,

Thank you for the report and feedback.
Observed that when "agent_installtype=standalone" is used then it works but fails when "agent-installtype=standalone".

Ok, my bad. Thanks for your review.
I did not see that it was different between option file (agent_installtype *underscore*) and command line (--agent-installtype *hyphen*)
Indeed, it works with agent_installtype in option file.
Maybe uniformize for both cases, as it is error prone.

Thank you for confirming and feedback on uniformize for both cases!

Thanks,
Umesh
