Hi, I hope this question hasn't been asked loads of times before but I can't see any reference to it in the documentation. Basically I need a way to monitor MySQL to ensure it hasn't gone down. We are using MySQL as the backend of some important sites and need to ensure that if it does crash for whatever reason, an alert (email and SMS) is sent out to an engineer to resolve the problem.
We are presently using a program known as NetSaint to monitor our services but it sometimes doesn't seem to be 100% reliable at detecting a MySQL error. Anyway, can anyone tell me a better way to monitor MySQL so that if it has any problems an oncall engineer can respond quickly. I'm sure this must be a common problem so there must be something out there already.
