Welcome.

I'm working on the port of LogDaemon into 3.2. I look forward to working
with you and it as the first LD helper. MySQL is precisely one of the
tools I'm looking at testing the port with.

Back at the beginning of LogDaemon in 2.7 there was a MySQL helper as
well. I have not heard much since. Presumably is happily working in
places, If that was not you we'd best check up and see about merging the
script concepts rather than adding new one.

If you are intending and able to stick around and support the script I
believe mysql logging is one of the helpers we could find great use for
bundling.
