Install Mtop in CentOS 6

Once you’ve installed and enabled RPMForge repository, let’s install MTOP using following YUM command.

# yum install mtop

To start Mtop program, you need to connect to your MySQL Server, using following command.

# mysql -u root -p

Then you need to create separate user called mysqltop and grant privileges to him under your MySQL server. To do, this just run the following commands in mysql shell.

mysql> grant super, reload, process on *.* to mysqltop;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> grant super, reload, process on *.* to mysqltop@localhost;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> quit;
Bye

Let’s start the Mtop program.

# mtop
