Hi Axel,
thanks for your hint. I think I'll try this approach now.
The only thing that nags me is the warning that "check_mysql --help" issues:
-p, --password=STRING
Use the indicated password to authenticate the connection
==> IMPORTANT: THIS FORM OF AUTHENTICATION IS NOT SECURE!!! <==
Your clear-text password could be visible as a process table entry
That's why I was searching for another way to provide the password to check_mysql. But if that's not possible, I'll try your way.
Regards
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
you have to add user and password to your nrpe command.
command[check_mysqld]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mysql -H localhost -u anyuser-panypass
You need to ensure that the chosen user has usage rights and if you like to monitor replication of a slave the user needs "replication slave" and "replication client"
