The configuration is correct - to check the configuration you can use the -t option:
$ monit -t Control file syntax OK Monit runs in poll cycles (driven by "set daemon <seconds>" statement) ... maybe you have long poll cycle so the test was not performed fast enough? For example to check every 5 seconds: set daemon 5 As mentioned, the verbose mode (-v) will show you when every particular test is performed so you can see what monit actually does.
