MySQL error to syslog

+2 votes
278 views

I am running MySQL 5.5.31 on FreeBSD 9.2. I have a web server with a miss-configured service that generates faulty connections. After a while, MySQl blocks any connection from the web server.

At some stage, I had set-up a script that would browse syslog log and look for a string like "Host 'xxx' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'" and would then issue a mysqladmin flush-hosts.

But after an upgrade, MySQl stopped reporting to syslog. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What gui to use for syslog-ng logs?

I have an environment in which I would like to implement a GUI for parsing syslog-ng logs from operating system, application servers and databases. I've heard that Splunk is a good tool but its quite hard to learn.

Are there any valuable alternatives? What are you using and why?

Which one to use syslog-ng or rsyslog on Linux

I've used syslog-ng for some time. I like it. I have a project in which I need to choose a central logging solution. What are your experiences with rsyslog? Is it more complex to setup than syslog-ng? Or maybe does it have some additional features?

I am also thinking about using some gui tools for log parsing and graphing. May be proprietary/paid. Any suggestions?

Best solution for Mysql error in rails 4 app 'Incorrect string value'?

I have a rails application, in which I am using delayed_job_active_record gem for running background jobs. While using the method .delay with an object, I am getting the following mysql error: 

"INCORRECT STRING VALUE: \'XE2X9CX93"X0A ...\' FOR COLUMN \'HANDLER\' AT ROW 1"

I already searched for the above error and found that its because of the difference in encoding in mysql and rails. The solution suggested by many programmers is to alter the encoding in mysql database to utf8. But I also read that MySQL's utf8 charset only partially implements proper UTF-8 encoding. It can only store UTF-8-encoded symbols that consist of one to three bytes; encoded symbols that take up four bytes aren't supported. Which might cause trouble in some other cases. Also, when I tried to insert the value directly in mysql, it worked like a charm. Suggesting that the issue might lie elsewhere. So, can anyone please suggest the right method to rectify this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
