Hello,
Using V1.1A7 the zabbix_server daemon does not automatically reconnect to the mysql database, if for some reason, mysql was down.
So even monitoring the mysql database used _for zabbix_, _with zabbix_ wont help. I think this is a critical issue.
I would suggest the following:
-zabbix_server should automatically reconnect to the mysql postgresql server when the server is available again.
-zabbix_server should notice the zabbix_administrator when sql becomes unavailable. The configuration of this special notification must be stored outside the sql-database of cause. The notification itself should easily be distingished by the admin from other notifications (facility, importance) since it indicates that monitoring is no longer available.
-once the server is up again (i.e. sql link is reestablished), another notification shall be sent.
-the log of this should be made available somewhere, maybe even merged back to the sql database once it is up again. For example into the section "events", or in a specific section zabbix_server "self monitoring".
