Hi Brady, this looks like a fine patch. The thing is, this is kind of
implemented already. If the purpose is to add a Host header to the
request sent to test a virtual host, Monit will use the name of the
host in the if-failed statement and use this as the Host-header. For
instance, if you use:
if failed host www.tildeslash.com port 80 then alert
Monit will set a host-header using the hostname, www.tildeslash.com.
So if you want to test all virtual hosts used by the server one can
simply add a new if-test:
check process httpd with pidfile "/var/run/httpd.pid"
start..
stop..
if failed host www.tildeslash.com port 80 then alert
if failed host www.mmonit port 80 then alert
if failed host www.somethingelse.foo port 80 then alert

Hello,
Hopefully this is the right approach for patch submission. This
patch adds support for a Host: header in the http process check
module. This allows the checking of an apache instance that serves
virtual hosts but throws
a 404 or other such error on the default host.
I did a cursory test on this using the config:
check process test with pidfile "/tmp/test.pid"
start program = "/bin/bash -c 'echo $$ > /tmp/test.pid ; /usr/bin/
nc -k -l 6000 | tee /tmp/test.txt'"
stop program = "/bin/false"
if failed host localhost port 6000 protocol http and request '/
testing' hostheader 'example.com' with timeout 20 seconds for 2
cycles then restart
This produced the request:
GET /testing HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Accept: */*
Connection: close
User-Agent: monit/5.1
Please let me know if you have any comments, questions, or if I have
done this completely wrong. =)
