Good idea, needs more work

This script has fulfilled a check we need so I thought I’d share a slight addition:
after the line

$status = “Rows $state – $count rowsn”;

add

if ($count =~ m/D/) { $state = “CRITICAL”; $status = “$count n”; }

This returns the MySql error (if there is one) rather than just returning OK when unable to connect to the server or the check is not correct…

Also the condition needs to be an escaped string – ie.
host=”localhost” or if using NagiosQL to configure Nagios: host=\”localhost\”
