Options:
  -c CRIT         Critical threshold; default 600.
  --defaults-file FILE Only read mysql options from the given file.
                  Defaults to /etc/nagios/mysql.cnf if it exists.
  -H HOST         MySQL hostname.
  -l USER         MySQL username.

  -S SOCKET       MySQL socket file.
  -s SERVERID     MySQL server ID of master, if using pt-heartbeat table. If
                  the parameter is set to "MASTER" the plugin will lookup the

  -T TABLE        Heartbeat table used by pt-heartbeat.
  -u              Use UTC time to count the delay in case pt-heartbeat is run
                  with --utc option.

DESCRIPTION

This Nagios plugin examines whether MySQL replication is delayed too much. By default it uses SHOW SLAVE STATUS, but the output of the Seconds_behind_master column from this command is unreliable, so it is better to use pt-heartbeat from Percona Toolkit instead. Use the -T option to specify which table pt-heartbeat updates. Use the -s option to specify the master’s server_id to compare against; otherwise the plugin reports the maximum delay from any server. Use the -s options with the value “MASTER” to have plugin lookup the master’s server_id

If you want to run this check against the delayed slaves, e.g. those running with pt-slave-delay tool, you may want to use -m option specifying the minimal delay that should be ongoing, otherwise the plugin will alert critical.

PRIVILEGES

This plugin executes the following commands against MySQL:

  • SHOW SLAVE STATUS [NONBLOCKING|NOLOCK]

    or

  • SELECT from the pt-heartbeat table.

This plugin executes no UNIX commands that may need special privileges.
