I thought I would upload a small script I use which I find quite useful. log_processlist.sh is normally run minutely from cron and collects statistics from any MySQL instance it finds. Data is kept for up to a week and then rotated. This allows you to check what happened over a period of time, for example if an instance crashes or seems to have a lot of load.
I have found it quite invaluable on the instances I’m monitoring and once setup it’s usually nice and silent. If you find this useful or have suggestions for improvements please let me know.
