The odd thing about that is that the script had not moved and every other time it ran the script was found and run correctly, just the few instances that it forgot that it was there. I have been severly thrashing the disks all afternoon and causing all sorts of error attempting to cause issues with the (artifical) load to check on some home brew parts of the http.monitor file. This has been causing the server to see loads almost 200% higher then it would in production and causing the array to lock up its read cache. This part is my errors on it.
Thanks for putting out such a useful tool. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Trocki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 12/7/2007 2:58 PM To: Osburn, Michael Cc: mon@linux.kernel.org Subject: RE: mon not reporting on localhost On Fri, 7 Dec 2007, Osburn, Michael wrote: > Thanks for the patch.

If you start mon like "./mon -d -c /path/to/mon.cf" it will dump out the list of places it's looking. The directory you're looking for is labeled "mondir" in the config file, and usually it's something like "/usr/lib/mon/mon.d". In the "-d" debug output it is incorrectly labeled "scriptdir" (which I just noticed). You can either just copy your http.monitor into the place it's looking, or better yet, just make the "mondir" path point to the "mon.d" directory that comes with mon. When mon starts up or is told to reload its configuration, it looks for every "monitor" and "alert" in your config in the "mondir" and "alertdir" paths, respectively. You can specify multiple directories separated by a colon, like "mondir = /usr/local/mystuff/mon.d:/usr/lib/mon", and you'd put your own homebrew or site-specific monitors in "/usr/local/mystuff/mon.d", where it will look first before looking in the other location.
