Hi Tom, If you are not happy with netsaint you might want to try http://jfontain.free.fr/moodss/index.html . I do not use this, however I understand alot of work has gone into it.
I am curious as to why you say: > We are presently using a program known as NetSaint to monitor our services > but it sometimes doesn't seem to be 100% reliable at detecting a MySQL > error. Because we use netsaint and have found it very reliable, (but maybe it works better on FreeBSD :) MySQL OK 09-10-2002 10:32:15 49d 11h 10m 18s 1/3 Version 3.23.51-log -- 102 Threads Uptime 39 days 12 hours 53 min 27 sec Are you using the MySQL plugin. What version of netsaint are you using? The latest netsaint is now called Nagios. What errors are you trying to detect? It is only meant to monitor if MySQL is up/down. Errors do not get tracked with netsaint, only up/down time (try Moodss for charts of errors!). This along with load monitoring using the NRPE utility and MRTG to chart query usage gives us some great information. Hope some of this helps you.
