There are many things to configure in Nagios, especially when using custom check commands. Recently I needed to configure all of the Continuent Clustering Nagios checks. Once setup on the database side, I wanted to confirm that everything was working. Basics: Run a Remote NRPE Check To test a remote NRPE client command from a […]

SELECT t1.id FROM tableOne t1 LEFT JOIN tableTwo t2 ON t1.id = t2.id WHERE t2.id IS NULL The “WHERE t2.id IS NULL clause” restricts the results to only those rows where the id returned from tableTwo is null. tableTwo.id will be NULL for all records from tableOne where the id is not found in tableTwo.

In this case I had done a restore from a MySQL 5.1 server to a MySQL 5.6 server. That was not too smart, because it broke the mysql database table structures and prevented me from logging in remotely. Local login worked both via the socket and TCP. mysql -u root -p -h remoteHostName Enter password: […]

As PHP deprecates old functions, sometimes code maintenance changes become required for long-running sites. As of PHP 5.5, the MySQL functions are deprecated and are removed in PHP 7! I recently had to convert multiple sites to mysqli PHP functions because a new server was running PHP 5.6 and the old server was on PHP […]

Quick-and-dirty way: tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -l -X dst port 3306 NOTE: That option above is a dash-ELL which provides for unbuffered output. Maciej Dobrzanski posted the following script on the Percona site at https://www.percona.com/blog/2008/11/07/poor-mans-query-logging/, which I am reposting without permission because it is so good: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 […]

I needed to automate the addition of new users with a sequential member’s ID in WordPress. Additionally, there were non-numeric entries in that column that had to be ignored. The wp_users.user_login column is a varchar(60) and so does not naturally handle numeric operations well at all. The solution is a combination of REGEXP and cast(): […]

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers MySQL Server via the Relational Database Service (RDS) offering. Unfortunately, AWS doesn’t allow ICMP Ping to reach the nodes, so as configured by default, Nagios will fail on the host check. The solution is to submit a Passive Check for that host. Login to the Nagios web console Click on […]
