Re: Monitoring Mysql service status

[Jason L. Buberel]

Ashok,

I am assuming that you are monitoring mysql using a simple TCP socket 
connection request to the mysql port. Is that correct?

If so, then it will not consume any connection resource for more than 
the few milliseconds it takes to open the port in order to verify that 
mysql is listening on that port, then disconnect.

When monitoring postgres, I see the following log entries that indicate 
the monit status check:

Dec 30 22:54:02 srv1 postgres[32135]: [1-1] LOG:  incomplete startup packet
