• If logging is required, was the dump logged?

Additional information is displayed. Such as:

• How many databases skipped
• How long did it take to dump everything
• How many megabytes have been dumped

How to use it

You will either have to generate a logfile that is parseable by the check_mysqldump-secure script (see mysqldump-secure.nagios.log for explanation) or you can use the already existing tool to dump MySQL databases in a secure way, which supports Nagios log output. mysqldump-secure
