monitor mysql

[antani]

i'd like to monitor if mysqld is running.

i tryied to do this with

UserParameter=process.mysql,ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep `cat /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid`| wc -l

but mysqld.pid cannot be read by zabbix user.

Any ideas on how to monitor mysqld (or any other daemon)

cheers

Is there any reason you couldn't use:

proc.num[mysqld]

as your item to monitor ?
