I am completely and totally baffled by what you are claiming here. There isn’t two sections involved. Every one of the sentences I quoted fits on the same screen even if you are viewing the page in 640x480 resolution. They are a single section, with one sentence leading directly to the next. > The text you referred (https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/#ACTION) just > says that <action> is one of “alert”, “restart”, “start”, “stop”, “exec” or > “unmonitor” … snip from manual regarding the possible actions: Yes, AFTER it says "Monit provides several tests you can use in a 'check' statement to test a service. You can test either for some expected value or range and take actions if the value changed.” So in the context of this section, an action is something taken when a test fails. There is no ambiguity here. > Please can you tell me where in this text you see the *event type* > specification or reference? There isn’t any - it just says that “alert action > sends an event” - not that the event type is “action” too (the event type > isn’t mentioned at all). I have no idea what you are babbling about. I have re-read all of my messages tonight and the words “event type” are not within them. > You just induced that the event type will be “action” when we used word > “<action>” in the rule syntax, but the event types are more specific and > describe the particular error which triggered it - not the <action> which was > performed.

I haven’t mentioned it tonight. I’m staring at a small block of text which doesn’t contain those words. Go to the link above and read the text. It says I can define a check, and I can define an action to be taken when the check fails. The action very clearly says it will send an alarm. I am not receiving any alarm. There no ambiguity here, and your constant attempts to claim that this very small page of text is being confused is… bizarre. Baffling. A third grader could read that text. I have no idea where you are wandering off to. > The event types used in alerts are described in alert section: > https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/#ALERT-MESSAGES. Nobody is talking about event types. We are talking about the very clear description of the actions to be taken when a check fails. > Here you can find the list of events and situations when the given event type > is used. Again: the “action” event type is not the same as the <action> > placeholder in the rule. I’ll modify the “action” event type description in > the manual to clarify that this event type is used to notify that the user > did some manual action. Nobody is disputing that. You are a very, very confused person. -- 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
