Nagios Support Forum

I have a mysqlbinlog command that runs on a continuous basis. The basic idea is found here: https://www.percona.com/blog/2012/01/18 ... sqlbinlog/

Since this is a command and not a daemon/service that is running, please advise on the best way to monitor it with Nagios?

It sounds like check_procs will do what you want. It doesn't matter if it's a daemon or a process started some other way--if it's running, not running, running the wrong number of instances, etc., you can watch for it.

Hope that helps!
