Dear Martin, Yes mine is from 3rd party. So where is the right
place to pick the right version of monit for centos 6.2? I run chkconfig monit
0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off. So is this
fine? What is the command to stop monit I tried monit stop it does not work
either? I dont get you how to create the link for the configuration file? Thank
you.
Regards,Shai.

If monit was installed via 3rd party package, it's up to the vendor of the
package where they install the configuration file, etc. Per your description it
seems that the install the configuration file as /etc/monit.conf, but because
your monit binary wasn't able to find it and was looking for default monitrc,
it seems that they didn't modify the configuration path search. Maybe their
init script uses the "-c /etc/monit.conf" option to set the configuration file
path. You can verify whether monit is registered to start on boot with
"chkconfig" utility. You can keep the rpm package - i'd just suggest to create
link for the configuration file (/etc/monit.conf -> /etc/monitrc)

Actually I took this monit-5.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm file from this link
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/monit/ and run command rpm -ivh
monit-5.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm for my centos 6.2. So I tried to find monitrc and
there is no such file in my system only /etc/monit.conf. So is it ok for me to
change the monit.conf to monitrc?After changing and creating the /var/monit. I
did this now looks ok.
/etc/init.d/monit startStarting monit: monit: generated unique Monit id
be30cd9f43337901d0f4a48f3ac33712 and stored to '/var/monit/id'Starting monit
daemon with http interface at [localhost:2812]
[ OK ]Is this the right way to run monit or
someother way? What is it init.d is already a registered service? Just to test
monit I have down the service which monit is suppose to monitor but there is no
alert sent so where to look out next? Thank you

Hi,
the default monit configuration file name is "monitrc", not "monit.conf" (that
is used by some 3rd party packages which modify the source code to find the
monit.conf instead of monitrc).
The idfile error is repotted most probably because your configuration file
contains "set idfile /var/monit/id" statement, but the directory "/var/monit/"
most probably doesnt exist => the unique id cannot be saved to the given
location. The id is used when Monit is configured with M/Monit to pair the host
entry in M/Monit with messages from Monit (pairing by source IP address won't
be reliable, as the monit agents can be behind firewall with IP masquerading,
so all the agents would update one host entry and you'll sporadically see
services of different hosts under the same entry, hence the concept of
per-instance ID).
To fix the idfile error:
mkdir /var/monit
+ set the permissions on that directory to allow the user under which monit is
running to write to this directory.
Regards,Martin
