Hello -

I hate to see zero reply messages in a COMMUNITY forum . . . seems kinda cold, doesn’t it?

I do know that there’s a way because the system administrator for the MySQL servers that I manage has created a script to email me whenever innobackupex fails.

So I am sure the same thing could be set up for monitoring replication.

I would suggest performing a Google search for “bash scripting tutorial”.

That’s the scripting language that the sysadmin used to run innobackupex and notify me on failure.

I hope that helps!
