# mysql_conf
|
|
|
|
Use the `mysql_conf` InSpec audit resource to test the contents of the configuration file for MySQL, typically located at `/etc/mysql/my.cnf` or `/etc/my.cnf`.
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Availability
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This resource is distributed along with InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Version
|
|
|
|
This resource first became available in v1.0.0 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
A `mysql_conf` resource block declares one (or more) settings in the `my.cnf` file, and then compares the setting in the configuration file to the value stated in the test:
|
|
|
|
describe mysql_conf('path') do
|
|
its('setting') { should eq 'value' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
# Test a parameter set within the [mysqld] section
|
|
describe mysql_conf do
|
|
its('mysqld.port') { should cmp 3306 }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
# Test a parameter set within the [mariadb] section using array notation
|
|
describe mysql_conf do
|
|
its(['mariadb', 'max-connections']) { should_not be_nil }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
where
|
|
|
|
* `'setting'` specifies a setting in the `my.cnf` file, such as `max_connections`
|
|
* when checking a setting within sections, such as `[mysqld]`, the section name must be included
|
|
* `('path')` is the non-default path to the `my.cnf` file
|
|
* `should eq 'value'` is the value that is expected
|

## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Test the maximum number of allowed connections
|
|
|
|
describe mysql_conf do
|
|
its('max_connections') { should eq '505' }
|
|
its('max_user_connections') { should eq '500' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test slow query logging**
|
|
|
|
describe mysql_conf do
|
|
its('slow_query_log_file') { should eq 'hostname_slow.log' }
|
|
its('slow_query_log') { should eq '0' }
|
|
its('log_queries_not_using_indexes') { should eq '1' }
|
|
its('long_query_time') { should eq '0.5' }
|
|
its('min_examined_row_limit') { should eq '100' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test the port and socket on which MySQL listens
|
|
|
|
describe mysql_conf do
|
|
its('port') { should eq '3306' }
|
|
its('socket') { should eq '/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test connection and thread variables
|
|
|
|
describe mysql_conf do
|
|
its('port') { should eq '3306' }
|
|
its('socket') { should eq '/var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock' }
|
|
its('max_allowed_packet') { should eq '12M' }
|
|
its('default_storage_engine') { should eq 'InnoDB' }
|
|
its('character_set_server') { should eq 'utf8' }
|
|
its('collation_server') { should eq 'utf8_general_ci' }
|
|
its('max_connections') { should eq '505' }
|
|
its('max_user_connections') { should eq '500' }
|
|
its('thread_cache_size') { should eq '505' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test the safe-user-create parameter
|
|
|
|
describe mysql_conf.params('mysqld') do
|
|
its('safe-user-create') { should eq('1') }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|

## Matchers
|
|
|
|
For a full list of available matchers, please visit our [matchers page](https://www.inspec.io/docs/reference/matchers/).
|
|
|
|
### setting
|
|
|
|
The `setting` matcher tests specific, named settings in the `my.cnf` file:
|
|
|
|
its('setting') { should eq 'value' }
|
|
|
|
Use a `setting` matcher for each setting to be tested.
