The "use addres 127.0.0.1" makes monit listen only on the loopback interface
... the "allow mmonit.server.ip" has no effect, as M/Monit won't be able to
reach Monit's httpd.
I suggest to change the configuration like this (remove "use address
127.0.0.1"):
--8<--
set httpd port 2812
SSL enable
pemfile /var/certs/monit.pem
allowselfcertification
allow mmonit.server.ip #note: allow access from M/Monit
allow 127.0.0.1 #note: allow access for monit CLI
allow user:pass
--8<--
Monit will then listen on all interfaces, so it can be reached both from the
M/Monit host and localhost.
Please make sure to do "monit reload" after the configuration change.
Regards,
Martin
