MySQL proxy with query logging

This is a simple MySQL proxy with query logging implemented using Flask and python's socket library.

How it works

This proxy listens on port 3306 and proxies all traffic to a MySQL server running on a specified host and port (defaults to db and 3306 respectively).

All incoming queries are parsed and stored in memory. They can be retrieved by sending a GET request to the root URL (/).

Queries can be cleared by sending a GET request to /reset.

Installation

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install the requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Run the server using python server.py.

By default, the proxy connects to a MySQL server running on db:3306. You can specify a different host and port by setting the TARGET_HOST and TARGET_PORT environment variables.

Usage

Once the proxy is running, you can connect to it using any MySQL client, just like you would with a regular MySQL server. The queries you execute will be logged and stored in memory.

To retrieve the list of queries, send a GET request to the root URL (/). The response will be a plain text list of queries.

To clear the list of queries, send a GET request to /reset.

The included docker-compose.yml is an example of how to use this in a development environment.

Notes

• This proxy is not intended for use in production environments.
• Binary data in queries is not converted, which may result in problems when using the stored queries.
• If you want to disable encrypted MySQL connections, set the FORCE_UNENCRYPTED environment variable to 1.
