Information Schema FEEDBACK Table

The Information Schema FEEDBACK table is created when the Feedback Plugin is enabled, and contains the complete contents submitted by the plugin.

It contains two columns:

Column	Description
VARIABLE_NAME	Name of the item of information being collected.
VARIABLE_VALUE	Contents of the item of information being collected.

It is possible to disable automatic collection, by setting the feedback_url variable to an empty string, and to submit the contents manually, as follows:

$ mysql -e 'SELECT * FROM information_schema.FEEDBACK' > report.txt

Then you can send it by opening post in your browser, and uploading your generated report.txt. Or you can do it from the command line with (for example):

$ curl -F data=@report.txt https://mariadb.org/feedback_plugin/post

Manual uploading allows you to be absolutely sure that we receive only the data shown in the information_schema.FEEDBACK table and that no private or sensitive information is being sent.

Example

SELECT * FROM information_schema.FEEDBACK\G ... *************************** 906. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Uname_sysname VARIABLE_VALUE: Linux *************************** 907. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Uname_release VARIABLE_VALUE: 3.13.0-53-generic *************************** 908. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Uname_version VARIABLE_VALUE: #89-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 20 10:34:39 UTC 2015 *************************** 909. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Uname_machine VARIABLE_VALUE: x86_64 *************************** 910. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Uname_distribution VARIABLE_VALUE: lsb: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS *************************** 911. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Collation used latin1_german1_ci VARIABLE_VALUE: 1 *************************** 912. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Collation used latin1_swedish_ci VARIABLE_VALUE: 18 *************************** 913. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Collation used utf8_general_ci VARIABLE_VALUE: 567 *************************** 914. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Collation used latin1_bin VARIABLE_VALUE: 1 *************************** 915. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Collation used binary VARIABLE_VALUE: 16 *************************** 916. row ***************************  VARIABLE_NAME: Collation used utf8_bin VARIABLE_VALUE: 4044
