Hello all,
I am struggling to configure Monit to repeat alerts for the CHECK
PROGRAM stanza. I have in my global section:
SET ALERT <my_email> WITH REMINDER ON 720 CYCLES
then further down:
CHECK PROGRAM sa-update WITH PATH "/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/sa-update'"
IF STATUS > 1 FOR 3 CYCLES THEN ALERT
This only sends an alert once when the return status changes for
'sa-update' - but doesn't send further reminders. The documentation and
online examples seem to suggest that I should keep on getting regular
alerts while sa-update returns status higher then 1. But I don't. The
daily reminders work fine though for the other types of checks - such as
CHECK HOST.
I have tried to add "WITH REMINDER ON ..." - but Monit doesn't like that
syntax - although there is one example using it in the online docs.
Apologies - the above is incorrect. I meant to say I've tried the
following syntax from the docs:
CHECK PROGRAM sa-update WITH PATH "/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/sa-update'"
IF STATUS > 1 FOR 3 CYCLES THEN ALERT REPEAT EVERY 720 CYCLES
and Monit doesn't accept it - it doesn't seem to like the word REPEAT:
/etc/monitrc:164: syntax error 'REPEAT'
