The Autonomous and Controllable O&M of Alibaba Cloud MyBase

This article describes how to install software, create a privileged account, view database logs, and modify any parameters with Alibaba Cloud MyBase.

By digoal

Background

Is MyBase the RDS providing software installment?

In addition to installing software, you can log in to the host, log in to the real privileged account, and achieve autonomous O&M. At the same time, it supports functions (such as flexible policies).

Here is a demonstration of how to log in to the operating system, install software, create a privileged account, view database logs, modify any parameters, etc.

Create a MyBase Instance

https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/en/apsaradb-for-mybase/latest/what-is-apsaradb-for-mybase

Log in to the Host

On the console, select the host, click the details page, and log in to the host

Install the psql Client

sudo yum install postgresql  
  
[apsaradb@iZbp1h999o4ffut1ydnf7pZ ~]$ which psql  
/usr/bin/psql  
  
[apsaradb@iZbp1h999o4ffut1ydnf7pZ ~]$ psql -V  
psql (PostgreSQL) 9.2.24  

The PG version of the yum repository is relatively old, but more versions will be supported in the future. If you want to install other versions of PG now, you need to upload the lrzsz locally.

You can install software that is not in the yum repository by uploading the software through the lrzsz package and installing it. Alternatively, we can download the software to be installed in ECS first and copy the software on the ECS host to the MyBase host through scp for compilation and installation.

Create a Privileged Account That Can Be Externally Connected

Since aurora is the internal account, pg_hba.conf only allows users to log in locally.

You can create an account that can be logged in externally:

Modify Parameters

Note: The parameters must be modified in both the primary database and the secondary database. Otherwise, the parameters will be unequal after being modified (and even cause failure). For example, some configuration values of standby database parameters must be greater than or equal to the primary database parameters. Some parameters are closely related to system resources. If the parameter modification is too large, the database may fail to start, such as semphor-related parameters.

Primary Database

postgres=# alter system set max_connections=10000;  
ALTER SYSTEM  

Secondary Database

postgres=# alter system set max_connections=10000;  
ALTER SYSTEM  

Some parameters need to be restarted to take effect. You can restart the instance in the console.

You can modify parameters by using alter system or directly editing postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf.

Suggestions

MyBase is an open database service, and users have a wide range of authority, but everything has two sides, so be careful when using these authorities. It may lead to system failure if arbitrarily damaged.
