sorry the db is MySQLand i am trying to read the difference between the last written record and the current time.if its been 12 hours already. it should send an alert via monit. problem is i am not really sure how to grep or an sql result that has different values (not just 1 or 0) if status != 0 then alert -- should i still use status? sorry im completely new to monit.

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 regex3. If the result is unexpected use 'exit 1' 4. Set in monit as Martin said On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 6:34 AM, Charles Pino <[email protected]> wrote: 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" ?? thanks From: [email protected] Subject: Re: Monit and SQL query Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 09:06:11 +0200 To: [email protected] 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.
