1、MySQL数据库的实例管理器(IM)是通过TCP/IP端口运行的后台程序，用来监视和管理MySQL数据库服务器实例。
2、假如IM挂了，则所有的实例都会挂掉;假如实例挂了，IM会尝试重新来启动它。
3、IM读取配置文件比如MY.CNF的[manager]段。
4、本文中的示例依据LINUX环境下试验。
二、配置说明:
1、配置文件如下：
[manager]
user=mysql
default-mysqld-path = /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld
socket=/tmp/manager.sock
pid-file=/tmp/manager.pid
password-file = /etc/mysqlmanager.passwd
monitoring-interval = 2
port = 1999
bind-address = 192.168.0.231
log = /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqlmanager.log
run-as-service = true
[mysqld1]
...
[mysqld2]
...
这个有两个配置实例，具体就不说了。见我的安装多个实例的文章。
具体含义查看mysqlmanager --help
2、密码文件
IM将用户信息保存到密码文件中。密码文件的默认位置为/etc/mysqlmanager.passwd。
密码应类似于：
petr:*35110DC9B4D8140F5DE667E28C72DD2597B5C848
我的mysqlmanager.passwd内容
user_all:*6BB4837EB74329105EE4568DDA7DC67ED2CA2AD9
3、启动IM
[root@localhost tmp]# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqlmanager
