Monitoring MySQL availability

2009-02-27 Thread Éric Fournier
Hi everybody , 

 I'm searching for a good way to monitor MySQL 
availability (to be able to be alerted when it goes down unplanned) and i 
just wanted to poke around to know which ways you people find the most 
efficient. Are you using third party software , scripts , snmp solution 
and so ? I'm doing my own research for this but thought if some of you had 
pros or cons about some methods i'd be glad to hear about it. 

Thanks and good day

Éric Fournier

We monitor hundreds of production systems with Nagios, of any kind.
I dont have time to search for better ones, but this is doing its job.

Hi,

I'm using Nagios or Zabbix as a monitoring system for my/my clients
infrastructures.



When the client doesn't want an access to his monitoring system, I install
Nagios with a couples of fine-tuned configuration/plugins. This is mainly a
legacy position since I've been using that for years.

pro: easy to get help, lots and lots of sysadmin know nagios / community
very active
pro: very modular
pro: its nagios!

con: file based, need to be reloaded to activate new config
con: very bad error reporting when syntax is off.
con: ugly ;-)



Zabbix is the one I use when the client will request reports and access. It
is cute and can be configured easily through a web-gui and got an
agent/proxy process that can be used in active mode (the monitored-server
send data back to master). Very easy to craft sql statement into monitored
item (such as time behind master)

Graphic, screen and inventory management can be done through zabbix.

The problem with Zabbix is that there isn't as many sysadmin that are
competent with it. Certifications are available though and I know a couple
sysadmin in Ottawa/Montreal/Quebec with those skills.

I've seen/deployed Zabbix quite a few time with over 500 hosts each with
about 30 different checks (items) and 45 triggers (limit on items).

pro: cute
pro: database based, new config always live.
pro: easy to define user/group access to servers/ressources.
pro: can scale with proxy (relay system) or with a cluster of server (tree
system)

con: original template are not that good
con: default: lots of data to your database.
con: supported by a small cie (community not as active as Nagios)
con: zabbix is really not that great with snmp



I've also tried Zenoss and various commercial offering, but they were all
sub-quality/way costlier than those 2 solutions.

Someone, replying earlier, mentioned that MySQL AB folks don't grant 
permission to nightly stuff.  I'll test it out, regardless.

Thank You,
