no, that's not yet possible.

If you want to implement that, I'd do it as a configurable option,
something like:
  <Plugin mysql>
    ...
    ServerIsMaster true
  </Plugin>
If that is activated, the additional `SHOW SLAVE STATUS' command is
issued and the additional information is collected. The

fields can be avaluated and a notification may be dispatched for each
field, so that a status change can be actet upon.

Other than that, I think the following fields have integer values and
may thus be of interest for performance measurement:

I have only a vague idea of what the values mean, so I guess it's up to
you to decide which values are of interest ;) However,
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/show-slave-status.html> lists a
few more fields.. Do you know what's up with them?
