 =head1 STATUS AND EVENTS UPSTREAM  
   
 B<monit> allows to send status and events each cycle. The message  
 is XML formatted and is carried by HTTP protocol. It is possible  
 to use it for collecting data and receiving alerts on centralized  
 monitoring system. Monit suppports definition of one or more  
 collectors which will receive the data. In the case that the  
 collector is not available, monit will try to connect to the next  
 one in the list (i.e. upstream will fail over to backup recipient  
 nodes).  
   
 Full syntax:  
   
  SET COLLECTOR {url} [TIMEOUT number] [ssl-version] [CERTMD5 string]  
   
 I<url> defines the message receiver. It is possible to use HTTP or  
 HTTPS protocol. Basic authentication is supported. This statement is  
 required.  
   
 I<TIMEOUT number> allows to define connection timeout for the  
 recipient. This statement is optional, if it is not specified,  
 it defaults to 5 seconds  
   
 I<ssl-version> is choice of [SSLAUTO|SSLV2|SSLV3|TLSV1] strings  
 which specify the ssl version used. This statement is optional,  
 if it is not specified, it defaults to SSLAUTO (it is used only  
 in the case that SSL protocol is used in collector URL).  
   
 I<CERTMD5 string> expected md5 sum of the server's certificate.  
 This statement is optional.  
   
 Example:  
   
  set collector  
      https://monit:monit@mmonit.foo.bar:8080/collector  
               with timeout 7 seconds  
               sslv3
