MySQL Alive

[Valdinger, Stephen (DOV, MSX)]

I would use check_procs to see if the mysqld process is running if you
do not want to log in. However, I would advise using the check_mysql
plugin and actually probing the mysql server for functionality. Having
the process running doesn't necessarily mean things are running smoothly
;-)

Subject: [Nagios-users] MySQL Alive


Hi:

We're new with nagios but learning.

We need to be able to check whether mysql is alive on a server - we
don't 
want to log in. I've looked at the check_mysql and check_mysql_query 
plugins and they seem to require username and password.

Can anyone advise on how to verify that MySQL is alive?
