Hi,

I want to monitor RDS (mysql database of EC2) using Nagios. In command line ( I am able to do it but I dont know how to feed it in nagios .

On nagios server if I execute the following command , I am able to fetch the information of database (RDS)

Nagios_server #/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mysqld.pl -p<password> -f -u <username> -A uptime,threads_connected,slow_queries,open_tables -H <hostname> -q 'SHOW STATUS'

output :- MYSQL 5.1.50 OK | uptime=344783 threads_connected=672 slow_queries=0 open_tables=64

Please let me know, to feed the same output , what i have to do in nagios.

Note :- Here the host name is public dns name (x.y.z.amazon.com) .We cant ping to this host.With mysql command , we can log in and work on databases.
