Logs file path

Each application writes logs in different folders and files. By default, mySQL general Logs are sourced from the below-mentioned folder path for the respective Operating System. If you have logs in a different folder, you can mention it under the File Path to source them from that particular folder while creating a log profile.

:

/var/log/myqld*.log

Log pattern

$DateTime:date$ $ThreadId$ [$LogLevel$] $Message$

This is the default pattern defined by Site24x7 for parsing mySQL general logs based on the sample mentioned below.
