Checks if MySQL Replication is active, checks for delay and outputs some additional info and performance data. It also catches non-obvious errors which would indicate a working replication, although there is something broken.

*** Description ***
Written in bash/shell this script is very easy to use and implement into your Nagios monitoring.
It's a very modified version of the script 'check mysql slave sql running' by dhirajt.
If you find a bug or have ideas, feel free to add it to the script or contact me.

*** Usage ***
./check_mysql_slavestatus.sh (-o file|(-H dbhost [-P port]|-S socket) -u username -p password) [-s connection] [-w integer] [-c integer] [-m TBD]

It doesn't work even if you create a user with the same privileges as root, if the username isn't root it fails to retrieve any information.
Hi, great plugin!

Forgot though to add the warning and critical thresholds in the performance output when thresholds are being used :

if [[ ${delayinfo} -ge ${crit_delay} ]]
then echo "CRITICAL: Slave is ${delayinfo} seconds behind Master | delay=${delayinfo}s;"; exit ${STATE_CRITICAL}
elif [[ ${delayinfo} -ge ${warn_delay} ]]
then echo "WARNING: Slave is ${delayinfo} seconds behind Master | delay=${delayinfo}s;"; exit ${STATE_WARNING}
else echo "OK: Slave SQL running: ${check} Slave IO running: ${checkio} / master: ${masterinfo} / slave is ${delayinfo} seconds behind master | delay=${delayinfo}s;"; exit

==>

if [[ ${delayinfo} -ge ${crit_delay} ]]
then echo "CRITICAL: Slave is ${delayinfo} seconds behind Master | delay=${delayinfo}s;$warn_delay;$crit_delay;;"; exit ${STATE_CRITICAL}
elif [[ ${delayinfo} -ge ${warn_delay} ]]
then echo "WARNING: Slave is ${delayinfo} seconds behind Master | delay=${delayinfo}s;$warn_delay;$crit_delay;;"; exit ${STATE_WARNING}
else echo "OK: Slave SQL running: ${check} Slave IO running: ${checkio} / master: ${masterinfo} / slave is ${delayinfo} seconds behind master | delay=${delayinfo}s;$warn_delay;$crit_delay;;"; exit

Hello,

Plugin wroks great only it would be good if support for mariadb would be added
Owner's reply

It works with MySQL and other forks, as MariaDB or Percona.

Easy to setup, straight forward options and correct reporting. Very pleased. Keep up the great work. Thanks!
