Real-world configuration examples

Here's some real-world configuration examples for monit. It can be helpful to look at the examples given here to see how a service is running, where it put its pidfile, how to call the start and stop methods for a service, etc.

You are welcome to cut & paste configuration into your own monitrc control file. NB! please check and edit as needed, some ip-addresses and paths mentioned here may or will differ from your system.


System Services

Cron (program timer)

When used with Solaris the init.d script needs a modification. Add the following line after start of cron according to the Monit FAQ:

         /usr/bin/pgrep -x -u 0 -P 1 cron > /var/run/cron.pid 

 check process cron with pidfile /var/run/cron.pid
   group system
   start program = "/etc/init.d/cron start"
   stop  program = "/etc/init.d/cron stop"
   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
   alert foo@bar
   alert 123456@sms on { timeout }
   depends on cron_rc

 check file cron_rc with path /etc/init.d/cron

   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
   alert foo@bar
   alert 123456@sms on { timeout }

WWW Services

Apache (web server)

Hint: It is recommended to use a "token" file (an empty file) for monit to request. That way, it is easy to filter out all the requests made by monit in the httpd access log file. Here's a trick shared by Marco Ermini, place the following in httpd.conf to stop apache from loggin any requests done by monit:

  SetEnvIf        Request_URI "^\/monit\/token$" dontlog
  CustomLog       logs/access.log common env=!dontlog

In some cases init scripts for apache and apache-ssl are separated, e.g. Debian Linux.

 check process apache with pidfile /opt/apache_misc/logs/httpd.pid
   group www
   start program = "/etc/init.d/apache start"
   stop  program = "/etc/init.d/apache stop"
