None as far as I know. I have been using monit through upstart to monitor multiple processes on one of my servers and have had no issues at all.

From: [email protected] Subject: Re: Problem starting my monit Date: Mon, 14 May 2012 14:35:31 +0200 To: [email protected] If you register monit with init, you cannot stop it (unless you unregister it from init and reload init configuration), as init will respawn monit on stop. The mentioned Upstart will allow you to start/stop monit on will with respawn in the case that it stops outside of Upstart control.

Then I tried monit validate is still working. Then I run this service monit status monit dead but subsys locked. Why even after quit the service is still running? I google it they ask to delete the file from /var/monit folder. I did that too. So then I followed this link http://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#init_support . I added this at the end of the file /etc/innitab # Run Monit in standard run-levels mo:2345:respawn:/usr/local/bin/monit -Ic /etc/monitrc. Then I telinit q and kill -1 1. So then only I start my monit is that correct? So when I call monit quit it do quit I think that it should not be quiting right? Regards,Shai.

PLEASE: read the basics of linux administration - every utility (rpm, chkconfig, monit) has manual page, that should be your first place where to look for the informations. Spamming the mailing list with very basic monit-unrelated questions and asking for confirmations of every simple step is not good. Read the rpm manual page (you'll learn how to verify the rpm content + locate the rpm package to which the file belongs), chkconfig manual page (you'll learn how to register services and verify which are allowed to run), etc. There are many articles which describe initial monit setup, for example this:http://wiki.niwos.com/linux/applications/monit Monit manual:http://www.mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html Regards,Martin On May 14, 2012, at 10:10 AM, sukbir singh wrote: Dear Martin, Yes there is a file /etc/init.d/monit. So that is the installation file right? So if I need to start after the quit is "monit start" right? How to now make sure that monit itself does not go down in any case ?

From: [email protected] Subject: Re: Problem starting my monit Date: Mon, 14 May 2012 09:35:30 +0200 To: [email protected] You can build the rpm directly from monit source code distribution (this rpm installs the /etc/monitrc properly): rpmbuild -tb monit-5.4.tar.gz Regarding the chkconfig - yes, your output confirms that monit is set to run in runlevels 3, 4, 5 (default runlevel is usually 3 or 5, you can verify your default runlevel in /etc/inittab). Monit stop: i suppose the rpm installed monit init script (/etc/init.d/monit) => you can stop monit with "/etc/init.d/monit stop" or via monit CLI: "monit quit".

From: [email protected] Subject: Re: Problem starting my monit Date: Sun, 13 May 2012 21:28:04 +0200 To: [email protected] 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) Regards,Martin On May 13, 2012, at 2:37 PM, sukbir singh wrote: Dear Martin, 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.

Thank you From: [email protected] Subject: Re: Problem starting my monit Date: Sun, 13 May 2012 14:06:52 +0200 To: [email protected] 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.
