Re: Monit and SQL query

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

you can use the "check program" to test the exit value of custom script. In this case the script can execute the SQL statement and return error if problem is found.

Script skeleton:

--8<--

#!/bin/bash

/ur/bin/mysql -e "SQL STATEMENT" ... | PROCESS OUTPUT AND RETURN 1 IF FAILED OTHERWISE 0

--8<--

Connection of the script with monit:

--8<--

 check program myscript with path "/usr/local/bin/myscript.sh"

       if status != 0 then alert

--8<--

Regards,

Martin
