## Overview
This program put in statsd (graphite stack) some metrics about your database
and table space consumption.

For all your databases/tables, you will have

- data_length: size of the table
- index_length: size of the index
- data_free: free space in table space
- row_count: the (approximative) number of rows

## Usage

```
usage: mytsgraph [-h] --config CONFIG

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--config CONFIG, -c CONFIG
Configuration file

```

## Notices
BE CAREFUL:
- It could be very slow (especially on heavy loaded servers or servers with a
huge databases/tables count.
You surely want to run this tool on a slave instead of a master

## Installation [pypi link](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mytsgraph/)

To install it with a [Python virtualenv](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/)
(recommended):

```
$> virtualenv myenv
$> source myenv/bin/activate
(myenv) $> pip install mytsgraph
(myenv) $> mysql-monitor -h
```

Or on your system, without virtualenv:

```
$> pip install mytsgraph
$> mysql-monitor -h
```

## Retention policy

I suggest to use a not fine grained retention since this script should be used
only a few time a day. Something like this should be enough:

```
[mytsgraph]
pattern = database.*
retentions = 4h:3y
```

## Development

To start hacking on the project, run:

```
$> virtualenv myenv
$> source myenv/bin/activate
(myenv) $> pip install -e .
(myenv) $> mytsgraph -h
```
