A monitoring solution which can monitor mysql as well as pretty much any service on nix and win platforms is zabbix (http://www.zabbix.com), its very easy to setup and personally I think its excellent. It may be overkill if you just want to check a db is up though....
-----Original Message----- From: Mathew Ray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 17 February 2005 2:35 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: mysql heartbeat Has anyone used or built a db monitoring tool for MySQL? I have come across various system-level heartbeat tools, but I am specifically looking for a solution that will work on Win2K Server and RedHat boxes, as we have several servers that each run different instances of mysql. No replication or clustering here, just looking to get notification and execute some php if a specific db or table isn't accessible. I have a rough plan for making my own, but I thought I would check here to see if anyone had a suggestion...
