I am not so sure about the strategy of restarting the service whenever you are under load, I can see that would reduce the strain on the server, mostly by annoying the users and making them try some other website....

Hi,

The below is a default script for monit for monitoring nginx but I do
not know how to optimize for my partitical situation.

Here is the scenario.

     1) 4 cores
     2) Running nginx with fastcgi using spawn-fcgi of a web.py app
     3) I am optimizing for potentially 8K qps where I have 120 ms for
a response or else punished
     4) Once a receive a post request only network calls is to redis.
There is no reading from disk etc.  My response is a protocol buffer.
     5) I have 8 worker proccess, 2 x number of cores
     6) 20000 worker connections
     7) keepalive_timeout 20
     8) 8 gigs of Ram
     9) 146 GB Harddrive

Given the above, how would woud I modify the monit config for nginx to
optimize monit monitoring?

     check process nginx
       with pidfile "/var/run/nginx.pid"
       start program = "/etc/init.d/nginx start"
       stop program = "/etc/init.d/nginx stop"
       if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 80 protocol HTTP then restart #set
your server IP that runs nginx
       if 5 restarts with 5 cycles then timeout
       if cpu is greater than 80% for 2 cycles then alert
       if cpu is greater than 80% for 5 cycles then restart
       if totalmem is greater than 50.0 MB for 5 cycles then restart
       if children is greater than 10 then restart
