Re: Cannot open connection via TCP.

[Aswin Roy]

I am able to monitor MySQL on localhost (my computer) with this code:

 check process mysql with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

   group database

   start program = "/etc/init.d/mysql restart"

   stop program = "/etc/init.d/mysql stop"

   if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 3306 then restart

   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

 So, should I be testing the remote host system in which I am trying to monitor MySQL on? 

Also, I installed monit using apt-get command and hence I did not install ssl. Does it have anything to do with it? 

Thanks.

Maybe your mysql server is set to not accept TCP connections on the given address. You can use netstat/lsof to check whether mysql listens for connections and try to connect to the mysql server port for example using telnet to see, whether the connection can be established.
