Configuring the MaxAdmin Administrative Interface

To configure the service which is used by the maxadmin command to connect to MariaDB MaxScale, add the following service and listener sections to the configuration file.

[CLI]
type=service
router=cli

[CLI-Listener]
type=listener
service=CLI
protocol=maxscaled
socket=default

This defines a UNIX domain socket which maxadmin will use to connect to MaxScale. MaxAdmin provides monitoring and administration functionality that can be used to inspect the state of MaxScale.
