General information
on a shared hosting server we found the capacity check was adding extreme amounts of load to our MySQL server. it was also causing the checkmk agent to not respond in time (per https://forum.checkmk.com/t/cmk-agent-connection-ok-dump-has-no-output/38598)
timed dump command before disabling the mysql_capacity check
timed dump after disabling the mysql_capacity check
Proposed changes
This change makes it possible to easily disable the capacity checks by creating a local file at
${MK_CONFDIR}/mysql.local.disable_capacity_checks
The existing usecase will not change at all if the file does not exist.
