15.3.2.5. Starting/Stopping the MySQL Enterprise Monitor Service on Windows

You can choose to start up the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager on installation. The installed services are called:

  • MySQL Enterprise Tomcat

  • MySQL Enterprise MySQL

You can stop or start the services from the Microsoft Management Console Services window. Look for the MySQL Enterprise Tomcat and the MySQL Enterprise MySQL entries.

Note

On Windows Vista, starting these services requires administrative privileges — you must be logged in as an administrator. To start or stop a service right click it and choose the Run as Administrator menu option. The same restriction applies to using the menu options discussed in the following and to starting the services from the command line. To open an administrator cmd window right click the cmd icon and choose the Run as Administrator menu option.

To start or stop a service, right click it and choose from the options in the pop-up menu.

There is also a menu entry for starting and stopping the services. Navigate to the Program, MySQL, MySQL Enterprise Monitor, Services entry to stop or start the services.

You can also stop or start a service from the command line. To start the Tomcat service type: 

shell> sc start MySQLEnterpriseTomcat

or: 

shell> net start MySQLEnterpriseTomcat

To stop this service type: 

shell> sc stop MySQLEnterpriseTomcat

or: 

shell> net stop MySQLEnterpriseTomcat

In similar fashion, you may stop or start the MySQL server from the command line. The service name is MySQLEnterpriseMySQL.

You may also start, stop, and restart a specific service or both services using the mysqlmonitorctl.bat file. To execute this file, go to the command line and navigate to the C:\Program Files\MySQL\Enterprise\Monitor directory. Typing mysqlmonitorctl.bat help produces the following output: 

usage: mysqlmonitorctl.bat help
       mysqlmonitorctl.bat (start|stop|restart|install|uninstall)
       mysqlmonitorctl.bat (start|stop|restart) tomcat
       mysqlmonitorctl.bat (start|stop|restart) mysql

help       - this screen
start      - start the service(s)
stop       - stop the service(s)
restart    - restart or start the service(s)
install    - install the service(s)
uninstall  - uninstall the service(s)

To stop a specific service, pass the argument tomcat or mysql in addition to the status change argument. If you wish to change the status of both services, do not specify a service name. You may also uninstall the services using this batch file.

Configuration of the dashboard begins immediately after the Service Manager is installed. To continue a Windows installation skip the next section and go to Section 15.3.2.7, “MySQL Enterprise Service Manager Configuration Settings and Advisor Installation”.
