Re: MySQL Disconnects

[Ben Nelson <lists () venom600 org>]

You can solve this problem by logging to unified log format files on the 
local sensor, then use mudpit or something to parse the files and insert 
into your MySQL database.  If the database is unavailable, mudpit will 
just keep its place in the log file and keep trying to connect to the 
MySQL server.
