Hello Ciprian, you are rigth. The status "Not monitoring" means ignore the resource. The status give the information the monitoring mode is "active". But with "mode passive" the monitor mode became "passive".
For example Remote Host 'SVNServe' status Not monitored monitoring status Not monitored monitoring mode active on reboot laststate data collected Thu, 06 Aug 2020 19:27:47 This is a never ending discussion, the used status and state information are not well described today, I think. For services/resources I am interresting in information only I do not define a start, stop and or restart command. Without a given command, monit can not do any action. Unfortunately you can not start a process via monit too. I use "mode passive" for some resources only and sometimes I use "if does not exist then alert" to override the automatic start for a resource. With regards, Lutz
