๐ฌ MySQL Monitor
Monitors a MySQL database server to verify it's accepting connections.
โ๏ธ Configurationโ
| Setting | Description | Default Port |
|---|---|---|
| Host | Database server hostname | โ |
| Port | MySQL port | 3306 |
๐ What Gets Checkedโ
The monitor opens a TCP connection to the MySQL port and reads the server greeting banner. This confirms:
- โ MySQL service is running
- โ Port is open and accepting connections
- โ Network connectivity is working
๐ก Tipsโ
- This is a connection-level check. It doesn't execute queries or check database health.
- Make sure your MySQL server allows connections from your Monitron server's IP (check
bind-addressinmy.cnf). - For remote monitoring, your firewall must allow connections on port 3306 from the Monitron server.
- Consider combining with a Heartbeat monitor that runs a health check query via cron.
