Publish Events to MySQL
MinIO supports publishing bucket notification events to a MySQL service endpoint. MinIO supports MySQL 5.7.8 and later only.
Add a MySQL Endpoint to a MinIO Deployment
The following procedure adds a new MySQL service endpoint for supporting bucket notifications in a MinIO deployment.
Prerequisites
MySQL 5.7.8 and later
MinIO relies on features introduced with MySQL 5.7.8.
MinIO mc
Command Line Tool
This procedure uses the mc
command line tool for certain actions.
See the mc
Quickstart for installation instructions.
1) Add the MySQL Endpoint to MinIO
You can configure a new MySQL service endpoint using either environment variables or by setting runtime configuration settings.
MinIO supports specifying the MySQL service endpoint and associated
configuration settings using
environment variables. The
minio server
process applies the specified settings on its
next startup.
The following example code sets all environment variables related to configuring a MySQL service endpoint. The minimum required variables are:
set MINIO_NOTIFY_MYSQL_ENABLE_<IDENTIFIER>="on"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_MYSQL_DSN_STRING_<IDENTIFIER>="user:password@tcp(hostname:port)/database"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_MYSQL_TABLE_<IDENTIFIER>="minio-events"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_MYSQL_FORMAT_<IDENTIFIER>="namespace|access"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_MYSQL_MAX_OPEN_CONNECTIONS_<IDENTIFIER>="2"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_MYSQL_QUEUE_DIR_<IDENTIFIER>="/opt/minio/events"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_MYSQL_QUEUE_LIMIT_<IDENTIFIER>="100000"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_MYSQL_COMMENT_<IDENTIFIER>="MySQL Event Notification Logging for MinIO"
Replace
<IDENTIFIER>
with a unique descriptive string for the MySQL service endpoint. Use the same<IDENTIFIER>
value for all environment variables related to the new target service endpoint. The following examples assume an identifier ofPRIMARY
.If the specified
<IDENTIFIER>
matches an existing MySQL service endpoint on the MinIO deployment, the new settings override any existing settings for that endpoint. Usemc admin config get notify_mysql
to review the currently configured MySQL endpoints on the MinIO deployment.Replace
<ENDPOINT>
with the DSN of the MySQL service endpoint. MinIO expects the following format:<user>:<password>@tcp(<host>:<port>)/<database>
For example:
"username:password@tcp(mysql.example.com:3306)/miniodb"
See MySQL Service for Bucket Notifications for complete documentation on each environment variable.
MinIO supports adding or updating MySQL endpoints on a running
minio server
process using the mc admin config set
command
and the notify_mysql
configuration key. You must restart the
minio server
process to apply any new or updated configuration
settings.
The following example code sets all settings related to configuring an MySQL service endpoint. The minimum required settings are:
mc admin config set ALIAS/ notify_mysql:IDENTIFIER \
dsn_string="<ENDPOINT>" \
table="<string>" \
format="<string>" \
max_open_connections="<string>" \
queue_dir="<string>" \
queue_limit="<string>" \
comment="<string>"
Replace
IDENTIFIER
with a unique descriptive string for the MySQL service endpoint. The following examples in this procedure assume an identifier ofPRIMARY
.If the specified
IDENTIFIER
matches an existing MySQL service endpoint on the MinIO deployment, the new settings override any existing settings for that endpoint. Usemc admin config get notify_mysql
to review the currently configured MySQL endpoints on the MinIO deployment.Replace
<ENDPOINT>
with the DSN of the MySQL service endpoint. MinIO expects the following format:<user>:<password>@tcp(<host>:<port>)/<database>
For example:
"username:password@tcp(mysql.example.com:3306)/miniodb"
See MySQL Bucket Notification Configuration Settings for complete documentation on each setting.
2) Restart the MinIO Deployment
You must restart the MinIO deployment to apply the configuration changes.
Use the mc admin service restart
command to restart the deployment.
mc admin service restart ALIAS
Replace ALIAS
with the alias of the deployment to
restart.
The minio server
process prints a line on startup for each configured MySQL
target similar to the following:
SQS ARNs: arn:minio:sqs::primary:mysql
You must specify the ARN resource when configuring bucket notifications with the associated MySQL deployment as a target.
Identifying the ARN for your bucket notifications
You defined the <IDENTIFIER>
to assign to the target ARN for your bucket notifications when creating the endpoint previously.
The steps below return the ARNs configured on the deployment.
Identify the ARN created previously by looking for the <IDENTIFIER>
you specified.
Review the JSON output
Copy and run the following command, replacing
ALIAS
with the alias of the deployment.mc admin info --json ALIAS
In the JSON output, look for the key
info.sqsARN
.The ARN you need is the value of that key that matches the
<IDENTIFIER>
you specified.For example,
arn:minio:sqs::primary:mysql
.
Use jq to parse the JSON for the value
Copy and run the following command, replacing
ALIAS
with the alias of the deployment.mc admin info --json ALIAS | jq .info.sqsARN
This returns the ARN to use for notifications, such as
arn:minio:sqs::primary:mysql
3) Configure Bucket Notifications using the MySQL Endpoint as a Target
Use the mc event add
command to add a new bucket notification
event with the configured MySQL service as a target:
mc event add ALIAS/BUCKET arn:minio:sqs::primary:mysql \
--event EVENTS
Replace
ALIAS
with the alias of a MinIO deployment.Replace
BUCKET
with the name of the bucket in which to configure the event.Replace
EVENTS
with a comma-separated list of events for which MinIO triggers notifications.
Use mc event ls
to view all configured bucket events for
a given notification target:
mc event ls ALIAS/BUCKET arn:minio:sqs::primary:mysql
4) Validate the Configured Events
Perform an action on the bucket for which you configured the new event and
check the MySQL service for the notification data. The action required
depends on which events
were specified
when configuring the bucket notification.
For example, if the bucket notification configuration includes the
s3:ObjectCreated:Put
event, you can use the
mc cp
command to create a new object in the bucket and trigger
a notification.
mc cp ~/data/new-object.txt ALIAS/BUCKET
Update a MySQL Endpoint in a MinIO Deployment
The following procedure updates an existing MySQL service endpoint for supporting bucket notifications in a MinIO deployment.
Prerequisites
MySQL 5.7.8 and later
MinIO relies on features introduced with MySQL 5.7.8.
MinIO mc
Command Line Tool
This procedure uses the mc
command line tool for certain actions.
See the mc
Quickstart for installation instructions.
1) List Configured MySQL Endpoints In The Deployment
Use the mc admin config get
command to list the currently
configured MySQL service endpoints in the deployment:
mc admin config get ALIAS/ notify_mysql
Replace ALIAS
with the alias of the MinIO deployment.
The command output resembles the following:
notify_mysql:primary format="namespace" table="minio_images" dsn_string="user:pass@tcp(mysql.example.com:3306)/miniodb"
notify_mysql:secondary format="namespace" table="minio_images" dsn_string="user:pass@tcp(mysql.example.com:3306)/miniodb"
The notify_mysql
key is the top-level configuration key for an
MySQL Notification Settings. The
dsn_string
key specifies the MySQL service
endpoint for the given notify_mysql key. The notify_mysql:<IDENTIFIER>
suffix describes the unique identifier for that MySQL service endpoint.
Note the identifier for the MySQL service endpoint you want to update for the next step.
2) Update the MySQL Endpoint
Use the mc admin config set
command to set the new configuration
for the MySQL service endpoint:
mc admin config set ALIAS/ notify_mysql:IDENTIFIER \
dsn_string="<ENDPOINT>" \
table="<string>" \
format="<string>" \
max_open_connections="<string>" \
queue_dir="<string>" \
queue_limit="<string>" \
comment="<string>"
The following configuration settings are the minimum required for a MySQL service endpoint:
All other configuration settings are optional. See MySQL Notification Settings for a complete list of MySQL configuration settings.
3) Restart the MinIO Deployment
You must restart the MinIO deployment to apply the configuration changes.
Use the mc admin service restart
command to restart the deployment.
mc admin service restart ALIAS
Replace ALIAS
with the alias of the deployment to
restart.
The minio server
process prints a line on startup for each configured MySQL
target similar to the following:
SQS ARNs: arn:minio:sqs::primary:mysql
4) Validate the Changes
Perform an action on a bucket which has an event configuration using the updated
MySQL service endpoint and check the MySQL service for the notification data. The
action required depends on which events
were
specified when configuring the bucket notification.
For example, if the bucket notification configuration includes the
s3:ObjectCreated:Put
event, you can use the
mc cp
command to create a new object in the bucket and trigger
a notification.
mc cp ~/data/new-object.txt ALIAS/BUCKET
