Hello,
we plan to switch to JSON and gzip transport in the future.
As a workaround you can modify Monit to send the heartbeat less frequently ...
the (polltime) schedule is in heartbeat() in src/monit.c:
--8<--
wait.tv_sec = time(NULL) + Run.polltime;
--8<--
You can modify it to run once per hour this way:
--8<--
wait.tv_sec = time(NULL) + 3600;
--8<--
On M/Monit side just extend the "acceptable report skew" settings of the given
host to allow for longer communication pause (cycles count based), otherwise
M/Monit will fire the heartbeat event => if your poll time is 60 seconds, set
the "acceptable report skew" (in host admin) to ca. 61 (i.e. wait for 61 cycles
* 60 s before firing heartbeat event)
Regards,
Martin
