Hello everybody!
I have a problem with Monit I am really stuck at, despite several tests and
simulation.
I reduced the problem to the following:
/etc/monit/monitrc:
----
set alert monittest@hidden but not on { instance }
check system simple-TEST-system
if cpu usage (user) > 70% then exec '/etc/monit_soft.sh' else if
succeeded then exec '/etc/monit_soft.sh'
if cpu usage (user) > 70% for 5 cycles then alert
----
What I want to achieve is to execute a script upon cpu usage (user) > 70%
across the system, and only after 5 cycles and only then to alert via a
mail.
The actual result though is that I receive a mail on the first cycle
already with the following content:
----
Resource limit matched Service simple-TEST-system
Date: Sun, 15 May 2016 13:15:55
Action: exec
Host: simple-TEST-system
Description: cpu user usage of 76.0% matches resource limit [cpu user
usage>70.0%]
Your faithful employee,
Monit
----
(note the Action: exec)
And again after 5 cycles I receive another mail with:
----
Resource limit matched Service simple-TEST-system
Date: Sun, 15 May 2016 13:16:50
Action: alert
Host: simple-TEST-system
Description: cpu user usage of 97.9% matches resource limit [cpu user
usage>70.0%]
Your faithful employee,
Monit
----
This time the action is "alert" and is the only mail I would like to
receive.
What I also tried is to filter out the 'exec' action by specifying:
set alert monittest@hidden but not on { instance, exec }
This didn't work either to deny the first mail to come in. On the other
hand, specifying a filter on 'resource' would deny any alert to be mailed
upon that kind of check.
So: how do I prevent monit to alert for an action that just executes a
script a form of soft-handling an issue and only properly alert after a few
cycles?
Any suggestion will be really appreciated, this problem has been driving me
crazy for a week now.
Many thanks!
Andrea
