Give it a few minutes to see if it is running properly and check the output/status info.
the status of the service is :

ERROR : Alarm signal (Nagios time-out)

i have installed mysql is the client machine to try it but i dont why the plugin didn't respond to it, also i want to know NSClient++ is the perfect client for all plugins ?
Or there is plugins that need another client to be installed ?

Can you even connect to the remote mysql server?

Code: Select all

mysql -u foo -p'apples' -h <ip address>
I just tested the plugin and it seems to be working fine:

Code: Select all

[root@speedking libexec]# ./check_mysqld.pl -H x.x.x.x -u nagios -p nagios
MYSQL 5.0.95 OK

Code: Select all

...also i want to know NSClient++ is the perfect client for all plugins ?
I am not sure what you mean by "client for all plugins"... If you would like to know if any particular agent is better than another one - it all depends on what you would like to monitor. NSClient++ is a popular agent, but you can also use NCPA, NRPE, etc.
