Hi,
you can use the "check program" statement (available in monit version 5.3+) to
integrate your test scripts with monit and set the action based on the return
value.
Example:
check program mytest with path "/usr/bin/mytest.sh"
if status == 10 then alert
Regards,
Martin

Hi All,
I've been successfully using monit for about a month. I have however been
misusing Monit somewhat to run more complex tests while still using Monit's
alerts to send out emails.
My (hack) is as follows :
I monitor the monit control file for size, a test which it will fail, every x
minutes. When this test fails monit calls a perl script which performs an input
vs output test on an application server, to ensure that the application is
still in a sane state. If the test fails I stop the offending service from the
script. Monit then notices that the service is stopped and restarts the service
and sends out alerts. This works fine, but it would be nice if the script could
just pass a return value back to monit. Monit can then take the appropriate
action itself.
I'm also currently working on a second test on this server. When this test
fails I would like to let Monit simply send out an email. I haven't figured out
a simple way to do this yet. I therefore propose that a command line action to
Monit is added, for example $monit alert <Service> <Message>, which then sends
out an email in the format as defined in the control file.
I couldn't find any similar suggestions, so I hope these are useful.
Kind regards,
