The Splunk Add-on for MySQL allows a Splunk software administrator to collect general logs, error logs, and slow query logs from MySQL servers and performance and configuration logs from local or remote MySQL Databases. This add-on also allows the user to collect MySQL Enterprise audit logs from MySQL Enterprise Server. This add-on provides the inputs and CIM-compatible knowledge to use with other Splunk apps, such as Splunk Enterprise Security and the Splunk App for PCI Compliance.
