Hey José, Monick,
Thanks José! The correct way to do this is indeed to monitor yourself, and use the Scalr agent (or API) to trigger the event in Scalr when it happens.. We have an example script in a soon-to-be tutorial that shows how to do this using Monit; it's here: https://github.com/scalr-tutorials/monit-integration/blob/master/monit.configure.sh (The way this works is we have a daemon that monitors the status of MySQL replication, and touches a file so long as replication works. If it fails, then the file is not updated, and monit will trigger szradm - see line 30 of the script). Another way to do this is to use the API. I updated the docs (http://wiki.scalr.com/x/aA1x) with that info.
