In this presentation, I talk about the reason I developed a new Nagios check for MySQL while at PalminoDB, what the plugin does, how it works, how to extend it, and what its limitations are. There are some supplemental links that folks might want to know, so I am posting them here:
-
- There is an excellent README for the mysql_health_check plugin.
-
- PalominoDB Nagios plugin github code repository also includes Nagios checks for monitoring pt-heartbeat, monitoring pt-table-checksums, and monitoring table partitions.
