Hola, I, for one, would be favour of this.
I'm very new to monit, I've found it to be incredibly useful, I've installed it on all our servers and can't imagine a scenario where it wouldn't be useful. However, getting it installed and configured wasn't a walk in the park. In the same way that puppet and chef recipes are shared, I think it makes a lot of sense to share monit checks. I'd also love to see a web interface to write new checks. A few tickboxes for each check, then a custom rolled check is output. I'm thinking specifically of setting mail server values, http protocol tests and so on. I'd be happy to contribute towards the above. Love & joy - Callum.
