Database Fleet Overview

The "fleet" dashboard is the central inventory for all your monitored database topologies. It provides a hierarchical, at-a-glance overview of the health, status, and configuration of your entire database environment.

Understanding the Dashboard Columns

NAME Column

This column displays the logical names of your databases and the individual server nodes within each topology. It also contains important status and quick-access icons.

Status Icons

Icon	Applies To	Meaning
🟢 Green	Aggregated Topology, Server, MaxScale	The component and all its members are running correctly.
🔴 Red	Aggregated Topology, Server, MaxScale	One or more members in the topology are down or not functioning properly.
⚫ Gray	Server	The server's status is unknown. This typically happens if the MaxScale node managing it is down.

Quick-Access Icons

This icon () is a shortcut that takes you directly to the detailed Grafana monitoring dashboard for that specific node or topology.

TYPE Column

This column shows the role of each node as automatically detected by Enterprise Manager (e.g., Primary, Replica, MaxScale, Galera Node, Standalone Server).

If this column shows '-', it indicates an issue. For instance, in a Primary/Replica topology, a server expected to be a Replica that shows '-' is likely not replicating correctly from the primary.

LAST METRIC AGE Column

This column shows the time elapsed since the agent on that node last reported metrics.

If the age is 5 minutes or greater, it indicates a problem. Verify that the mema-agent is installed, running, and can communicate with the Enterprise Manager server on that host.

Interacting with Your Databases

You can perform actions on your databases and nodes using the three-dot menu (⋮) on the far right of each row.

1

Accessing the MaxScale GUI

• Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to a MaxScale node.

• Select "Manage MaxScale".

2

Configuring SSO in maxscale.cnf

To enable SSO, add the following parameters to your MaxScale configuration file (maxscale.cnf) on the MaxScale host:

[maxscale]
# ... other settings ...
admin_host=0.0.0.0
admin_oidc_url=https://<Enterprise Manager Host Name>:8090
admin_oidc_client_id=admin
admin_oidc_client_secret=mariadb
admin_oidc_ssl_insecure=true

Parameter	Description
admin_oidc_url	URL for Enterprise Manager server that includes hostname or IP address and port.
admin_host	Must be set to 0.0.0.0 to allow external connections from Enterprise Manager.
admin_oidc_client_id	Default credentials used by Enterprise Manager to request the access token.
admin_oidc_client_secret	Default credentials used by Enterprise Manager to request the access token.
admin_oidc_ssl_insecure	Skip TLS certificate verification in case certificates aren't configured
