Hi,  
I’m using Percona nagios monitoring tools and I’d like to set up a check which will display how many mysql queries exist per second.  
What is the correct way to achieve this goal?  
Thanks  
Itai

Native Nagios plugin check\_mysql (nagios-plugins-mysql package) displays MySQL status in the output and avg queries per sec. is included.
