# configure-monitoring

## Description

Updates the monitoring configuration for the cluster. SingleStore 7.1.8 is the minimum version required to run `configure-monitoring`.

This will restart the `memsql_exporter` process or stop it if `--stop-exporter` is specified.

This command should be run on the cluster you are monitoring (Source cluster).

The `--exporter-password` flag is required and specifies the password of the SingleStore `root` user on the Source cluster. You can use this flag in conjunction with the `--exporter-user` flag to specify a SingleStore user on Source cluster that is different from the `root` user and the user’s password. Note that the `EXPORTER_PASSWORD` environment variable is a safer alternative option for setting the password.

Wrap the password string in single quotes (') to avoid having the shell try to interpret any special characters included in the string.

## Usage

```
Usage:
  sdb-admin configure-monitoring [flags]

  For flags that can accept multiple values (indicated by VALUES after the name of the flag),
  separate each value with a comma.

Flags:
  -p, --exporter-password string         The password for the user that will start the memsql_exporter on the Source cluster. If a password is specified on the command line, it must not contain an unescaped '$' character as it will be replaced by the shell
  -P, --exporter-port PORT               Port where memsql_exporter is run (on the Source cluster) (default 9104)
      --exporter-ssl-cert string         Path to the certificate the exporter will use for SSL connections. This path must exist on the host where the exporter is running
      --exporter-ssl-key string          Path to the public-private key pair file the exporter will use for SSL connections. This path must exist on the host where the exporter is running
      --exporter-ssl-passphrase string   Passphrase for encrypted exporter-ssl-key
      --exporter-use-https               Whether to start the exporter in HTTPS mode. Requires --exporter-ssl-cert and --exporter-ssl-key to be set
  -u, --exporter-user string             The database user on the Source cluster that will start the memsql_exporter (should have at least SHOW METADATA permission) (default "root")
  -h, --help                             Help for configure-monitoring
      --stop-exporter                    Stop the memsql_exporter process

Global Flags:
      --backup-cache FILE_PATH                File path for the backup cache
      --cache-file FILE_PATH                  File path for the Toolbox node cache
  -c, --config FILE_PATH                      File path for the Toolbox configuration
      --disable-colors                        Disable color output in console, which some terminal sessions/environments may have difficulty with
      --disable-spinner                       Disable the progress spinner, which some terminal sessions/environments may have issues with
  -j, --json                                  Enable JSON output
      --parallelism POSITIVE_INTEGER          Maximum number of operations to run in parallel
      --runtime-dir DIRECTORY_PATH            Where to store Toolbox runtime data
      --ssh-control-persist SECONDS           Enable SSH ControlPersist and set it to the specified duration in seconds
      --ssh-max-sessions POSITIVE_INTEGER     Maximum number of SSH sessions to open per host, must be at least 3
      --ssh-strict-host-key-checking          Enable strict host key checking for SSH connections
      --ssh-user-known-hosts-file FILE_PATH   Path to the user known_hosts file for SSH connections. If not set, /dev/null will be used
      --state-file FILE_PATH                  Toolbox state file path
  -v, --verbosity count                       Increase logging verbosity: valid values are 1, 2, 3. Usage -v=count or --verbosity=count
  -y, --yes                                   Enable non-interactive mode and assume the user would like to move forward with the proposed actions by default
