Configuring MySQL on Cloud Foundry

For persistence support with the monitoring application, you need to configure MySQL with either marketplace service or a user-provided service.

Creating Service from Marketplace

  1. You can check the services available from the Cloud Foundry Marketplace by running the following command: 
    cf marketplace
  2. Run the following command to create a service. 
    cf create-service <SERVICE_NAME> <SERVICE_PLAN> <SERVICE_INSTANCE_NAME>
Note: Define the <SERVICE_INSTANCE_NAME> as bwcemon_mysql

MySQL is now configured with the marketplace service on the Cloud Foundry environment.

Creating User Provided Service for MySQL

  1. To create the User Provided Service (CUPS) for MySQL database, run the following command: 

    cf cups <service_instances_name> -p "host,username,password,database"

MySQL is now configured with the user provided service on the Cloud Foundry environment.
