BigSister MySQL monitor
-----------------------

This monitor uses the BigSister New Agent infrastructure and as such needs a
DESCR entry in uxmon-net for the MySQL server you want to monitor. For more
information check the NEWAGENT file that comes with your BigSister package.

Parameters
----------

user    : string  MySQL user
password: string  MySQL user password
warn    : integer number of threads connected to issue a warning (default 100)
fail    : integer number of threads connected to issue a failure message 
                  (default 150), set this to 0 if you don't want the threads
                  monitored

Use
---

The MySQL monitor tries to connect to the MySQL server using the user and
password supplied. If it can connect it will query the number of active threads
and report this as performance data.
The number of threads will also be checked against the warn and fail levels as
specified.
If the fail level is set to 0 (zero) the threads won't be monitored. This makes
the test also useable for very old MySQL servers which don't implement the
detailed "SHOW status" query.

Examples
--------

DESCR features=unix,linux 10.46.144.222

10.46.144.222(db1) user=bigsis password=B1gS!s mysql
# connect using user bigsis and password B1gS!s and monitor the active threads

10.46.144.222(db1) fail=0 user=bigsis password=B1gS!s mysql
# the same without monitoring the active threads
