Synopsis

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • PyMySQL

  • mysqlclient

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

comment

string

Text field that can be used for any purposed defined by the user. Could be a description of what the host stores, a reminder of when the host was added or disabled, or a JSON processed by some checker script.

Default: ""

compression

integer

If the value of compression is greater than 0, new connections to that server will use compression. If omitted the proxysql database default for compression is 0.

config_file

path

Specify a config file from which login_user and login_password are to be read.

Default: ""

hostgroup_id

integer

The hostgroup in which this mysqld instance is included. An instance can be part of one or more hostgroups.

Default: 0

hostname

string / required

The ip address at which the mysqld instance can be contacted.

load_to_runtime

boolean

Dynamically load config to runtime memory.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

login_host

string

The host used to connect to ProxySQL admin interface.

Default: "127.0.0.1"

login_password

string

The password used to authenticate to ProxySQL admin interface.

login_port

integer

The port used to connect to ProxySQL admin interface.

Default: 6032

login_unix_socket

string

The socket used to connect to ProxySQL admin interface.

login_user

string

The username used to authenticate to ProxySQL admin interface.

max_connections

integer

The maximum number of connections ProxySQL will open to this backend server. If omitted the proxysql database default for max_connections is 1000.

max_latency_ms

integer

Ping time is monitored regularly. If a host has a ping time greater than max_latency_ms it is excluded from the connection pool (although the server stays ONLINE). If omitted the proxysql database default for max_latency_ms is 0.

max_replication_lag

integer

If greater than 0, ProxySQL will regularly monitor replication lag. If replication lag goes above max_replication_lag, proxysql will temporarily shun the server until replication catches up. If omitted the proxysql database default for max_replication_lag is 0.

port

integer

The port at which the mysqld instance can be contacted.

Default: 3306

save_to_disk

boolean

Save config to sqlite db on disk to persist the configuration.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

state

string

When present - adds the host, when absent - removes the host.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

status

string
ONLINE - Backend server is fully operational. OFFLINE_SOFT - When a server is put into OFFLINE_SOFT mode, connections are kept in use until the current transaction is completed. This allows to gracefully detach a backend. OFFLINE_HARD - When a server is put into OFFLINE_HARD mode, the existing connections are dropped, while new incoming connections aren’t accepted either.

If omitted the proxysql database default for status is ONLINE.

Choices:

  • "ONLINE"

  • "OFFLINE_SOFT"

  • "OFFLINE_HARD"

use_ssl

boolean

If use_ssl is set to True, connections to this server will be made using SSL connections. If omitted the proxysql database default for use_ssl is False.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

weight

integer

The bigger the weight of a server relative to other weights, the higher the probability of the server being chosen from the hostgroup. If omitted the proxysql database default for weight is 1.

Notes

Note

  • Supports check_mode.

Examples

---
# This example adds a server, it saves the mysql server config to disk, but
# avoids loading the mysql server config to runtime (this might be because
# several servers are being added and the user wants to push the config to
# runtime in a single batch using the community.general.proxysql_manage_config
# module).  It uses supplied credentials to connect to the proxysql admin
# interface.

- name: Add a server
  community.proxysql.proxysql_backend_servers:
    login_user: 'admin'
    login_password: 'admin'
    hostname: 'mysql01'
    state: present
    load_to_runtime: false

# This example removes a server, saves the mysql server config to disk, and
# dynamically loads the mysql server config to runtime.  It uses credentials
# in a supplied config file to connect to the proxysql admin interface.

- name: Remove a server
  community.proxysql.proxysql_backend_servers:
    config_file: '~/proxysql.cnf'
    hostname: 'mysql02'
    state: absent
