Introducing mysqlbeat

[adi.b (Adi)]

Hi Guys,
I looked for something to expand the MySQL packetbeat dashboard with no luck so I decided to do it myself I wrote a new beat that can connect to a MySQL server and ship any result from the queries defined in the config file to elastic/logstash.

I've also created a default configuration that reports key metrics from MySQL to elastic and built a dashboard (I avoided graphs that are already covered by packetbeat) - you are all free to use it, the code is on github.

Hi @adi.b

Great to see one more beat. Please open a PR to also add it to the community beats here: https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/libbeat/docs/communitybeats.asciidoc I'm sure quite a few people will be interested in this.

We are currently working on metricbeat. Part of your MySQL queries is also available there (GLOBAL STATUS): https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/metricbeat/module/mysql

Your implementation is obviously more generic and allows "all" queries to be fetched. One query I spotted in your config is for the SLAVE STATUS, this could be a very interesting metricset to be added to metricbeat.

I'm also happy to see that you seem to have used beat-generator. Let me know if you hit any issues with it.

Hi @ruflin
I already did a pull request about a week ago with no replay, That's a first for me so maybe I did something wrong?

Should I try again?

Can you post the link to the PR? I think I totally missed that one.
