I just ran across a great post by Tom Swanson on how he monitors MySQL using Essentials 2007. Check it out!

In his post, Tom describes the steps he took to create custom monitors and how to work around monitoring ODBC drivers.

The steps include:

  1. Make a custom monitor that checks all the MySQL services are running OK
  2. Watch for the particular ports used by MySQL to make sure they are live from outside the monitored box
  3. Attach to the MySQL databases of interest using OLEDB
