Right now alert is being send implicitly on start / restart. Is there
a way to do restart + alert exec then?
I want process to restart and notify service foo by a custom protocol.
I can, as an option, create an exec script to do restart and notify.
However there is a known issue with using exec for restart which will
probably be fixed with a new scheduling engine implemented. The other
option for me would be to write a wrapper for a start up script of
each program I monitor. I would rather have an alert setting to execute
something passing the monit information to it
alert option exec foo
So foo could get process id of failed program, process / command name,
error message text, ... etc
Thanks,

Such mechanism is in place already ... see the "exec" action.

What would it take to extend the alerting system to allow for an external
program to run in response to the alert condition? This way, alerts can be
anything: SNMP traps, alarms in an operations and administration management
system, etc.
Email is a good notification mechanism but it is a pretty narrow use case in
more elaborate management systems.
Maybe there is a way to harvest the "event queue" on disk by an external
application?
