So I’ve installed monit 5.2.5 from EPEL. I realize this is old, but want to ensure that this isn’t a configuration issue. Can someone point out to me if I did something wrong here?
I’ve configured it send all alerts to my address, which works. If I leave instance alerts on, I get notified every time monit stops and starts. The restart works properly — the service is restarted, but no e-mail is sent. If I enable “nonexist” alerts, I get an alert that the process doesn’t exist, and then an alert that it has been started. That’s two alerts, and I’d like just one. I want the “action” alert, but one is not being sent. If I disable both instance and nonexist, no e-mail is sent when the service is restarted. The documentation says: > In each test you must select the action to be executed from this list: > · RESTART restarts the service and sends an alert. That underline is in the man page for emphasis. However I’m not receiving the alert that it was restarted. Config: set alert [email protected] only on { action, connection, content, data, exec, fsflags, gid, icmp, invalid, permission, resource, size, timeout, timestamp, uid } check process apache with pidfile /var/run/httpd/httpd.pid group apache start "/etc/init.d/httpd start" stop "/etc/init.d/httpd stop" if failed host localhost port 80 protocol http request "/robots.txt" for 2 cycles then restart if failed host localhost port 80 protocol apache-status waitlimit < 20% for 2 cycles then alert if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then alert -- Jo Rhett +1 (415) 999-1798 Skype: jorhett Net Consonance : net philanthropy to improve open source and internet projects. -- To unsubscribe: https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monit-general
