X Plugin Options and Variables Scope Global Dynamic No SET_VAR  Hint Applies No Type String Default Value /tmp/mysqlx.sock The path to a Unix socket file which X Plugin uses for connections. This setting is only used by MySQL Server when running on Unix operating systems. Clients can use this socket to connect to MySQL Server using X Plugin. The default  mysqlx_socket  path and file name is based on the default path and file name for the main socket file for MySQL Server, with the addition of an  x  appended to the file name. The default path and file name for the main socket file is  /tmp/mysql.sock , therefore the default path and file name for the X Plugin socket file is  /tmp/mysqlx.sock . If you specify an alternative path and file name for the main socket file at server startup using the socket  system variable, this does not affect the default for the X Plugin socket file. In this situation, if you want to store both sockets at a single path, you must set the  mysqlx_socket  system variable as well. For example in a configuration file: If you change the default path and file name for the main socket file at compile time using the MYSQL_UNIX_ADDR  compile option, this does affect the default for the X Plugin socket file, which is formed by appending an  x  to the  MYSQL_UNIX_ADDR  file name. If you want to set a different default for the X Plugin socket file at compile time, use the  MYSQLX_UNIX_ADDR  compile option. The  MYSQLX_UNIX_PORT  environment variable can also be used to set a default for the X Plugin socket file at server startup (see Section 4.9, “Environment Variables” ). If you set this environment variable, it overrides the compiled  MYSQLX_UNIX_ADDR  value, but is overridden by the  mysqlx_socket  value. The  mysqlx_ssl_ca  system variable is like  ssl_ca , except that it applies to X Plugin rather than the MySQL Server main connection interface.
