Re: Monit and SQL query

[Nestor Urquiza]

Build a shell script that:

1. will issue the command to your server (you did not say what kind of sql server you have)

2. will parse the result from the server using for example grep and regex

3. If the result is unexpected use 'exit 1' 

4. Set in monit as Martin said

sql statement is supposed to evaluate if the result is >= to 12 , if true then alert. 

 how do i put that in place of " PROCESS OUTPUT AND RETURN 1 IF FAILED OTHERWISE 0" ??

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
