Hi there, I am using puppet to ensure monit 5.13 service is running on CentOS 7. I can see the following errors when puppet tries to start monit.
Error: Could not start Service[monit]: Execution of '/bin/systemctl start monit' returned 1: Job for monit.service failed. See 'systemctl status monit.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. [root@ ~]# systemctl -l status monit.service monit.service - SYSV: Monit is a utility for managing and monitoring processes, Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/monit) Active: failed (Result: timeout) since Tue 2015-08-04 03:48:57 UTC; 1min 3s ago Process: 18380 ExecStop=/etc/rc.d/init.d/monit stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 18509 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/monit start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 18204 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Aug 04 03:43:57 systemd[1]: Starting SYSV: Monit is a utility for managing and monitoring processes,... Aug 04 03:43:57 monit[18509]: Starting monit: Monit daemon with PID 19872 awakened Aug 04 03:43:57 monit[18509]: [ OK ] Aug 04 03:43:57 systemd[1]: PID file /var/run/monit.pid not readable (yet?) after start. Aug 04 03:48:57 systemd[1]: monit.service operation timed out. Terminating. Aug 04 03:48:57 systemd[1]: Failed to start SYSV: Monit is a utility for managing and monitoring processes,. Despite the above error I see that monit is up and running. Also, I observed that monit creates the PID file in /run/monit.pid with the correct process ID , but cribs saying /var/run/monit.pid file is not readable. I am using the default configuration in the monitrc files $HOME/monit.pid . Also, after changing the monitrc file explicitly to use “/var/run/monit.pid” monit starts successfully without any errors. Is this a known issue with monit on CentOS 7 ? This works perfectly with some other flavours of linux that I use, e.g.: Redhat & Ubuntu. Thanks & regards, Biju
