Hello,
I have noticed some previous messages in this list about monit and mysql
server.
I have a mysql server instance running and even though I do not have
networking turned off explicitly in my.cnf, I am not allowing anonymous
connections on port 3306.
Someone very helpful several months ago (Martin I think?) responded to a
previous person on the mailing list and said:
There are also specific protocol tests (such as mysql for example) which
are testing more details - for example mysql test tries to login as
anonymous user and if succeeded then performs mysql ping as well.
You can enable it using the 'protocol' option in the port or unix socket
rule:
if failed port 3306 protocol mysql then alert
Since I am not allowing anonymous logins, all I want to do is test the
mysql daemon with a "ping", so I am wondering what protocol should I use
in my monit configuration file instead of the protocol named "mysql"? In
other words, replace the word "mysql" in the configuration line below
with ???
if failed host 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> port 3306 protocol
mysql then restart
Do I also need any "depends" lines in the configuration for merely
"pinging" the mysql server daemon? Thank you for very much for any
suggestions!
Cheers,
Serg
