follows every upstream release, minors and majors included. Currently 0.21.0.
Not published yet. The first prometheus-mysqld-exporter release is being built. These commands will work once it lands at deb.freshdeb.com/prometheus-mysqld-exporter; the versions shown are the ones package.yaml will publish.

3Install
sudo apt update && sudo apt install prometheus-mysqld-exporter
apt policy prometheus-mysqld-exporter # expect 0.21.0-2+freshdeb~…Before you upgrade from the distribution's prometheus-mysqld-exporter
The freshdeb version sorts higher, so apt upgrade moves you over in place. From jammy's 0.13 or bookworm's 0.14: 0.15 dropped DATA_SOURCE_NAME, and a setup that sets it no longer starts. Move the credentials to /var/lib/prometheus/.my.cnf, or use --mysqld.username, --mysqld.address and MYSQLD_EXPORTER_PASSWORD. Setups that use ~/.my.cnf keep working.
Compared with Debian's package
Debian's packaging decides where things go: package names, paths, users, services and how upgrades behave. The build follows upstream's own release builds wherever Debian's differs.
- Build
- Upstream's release build: pinned Go toolchain,
CGO_ENABLED=0, upstream's version stamps. Upstream's test suite gates the build. - Credentials
- Debian's default,
/var/lib/prometheus/.my.cnf, stays. The defaults file documents the current options and MariaDB'sSLAVE MONITORprivilege. - Layout
- Debian's: systemd unit and init script,
/etc/default/prometheus-mysqld-exporter, logrotate.
Packing list
Every release line of prometheus-mysqld-exporter and the distributions it's built for. Each line is its own APT component and only gets the releases it follows (main: every upstream release, minors and majors included). After upstream end of life it stops building but stays installable. Hatched cells have no build: usually that distribution already ships the same or a newer version itself.
