I want to restart my Mongrels from crontab periodically to free up memory. I tried this: [admin at mudcrapce ~]$ mongrel_rails cluster::restart -C /var/www/apps/mudcrapce/current/config/mongrel_cluster.yml Restarting 5 Mongrel servers... mongrel_rails restart -P log/mongrel.3040.pid !!!

Alright, I have googles and read through the docs on monit I get this error when adding -v starting monit monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support? monit: Cannot connect to the monit daemon. Did you start it with http support?

I have this configuration: class monit { # Installing packages. package { "monit": ensure => latest; } file { "/etc/default/monit": owner => "root", group => "root", mode => "0644", source => "puppet:///monit/etc/default/monit", } file { "/etc/monit/monitrc": owner => "root", group =>

I started emailing monit mailing list because I started getting this problem where I couldn''t start backgroundrb with monit anymore, thinking it was a monit problem. However, I back tracked a bit since I had added code to my project, and monit was able to start backgroundrb again. I seem to have zeroed in on the problem. I''m not sure where the problem lies - maybe monit or

Has anybody here tried the "Monit" utility (http://mmonit.com/monit/)? I need to set up some kind of "watchdog" functionality for a custom service otherwise started via init (i.e. via a script in /etc/init.d + rc*.d links managed by chkconfig) and it seems like this system may give me nearly what I want. However, something that concerns me about it, is that it appears to

Might there be anything CentOS related on why I cannot access the Monit GUI system on http://box-running-monit.com:2812 ? I am using a very basic /etc/monit.conf config, but I cannot get it serve the web page on my box The service start and stops fine (e.g. "/etc/init.d/monit start"), and I have it set to listen to port 2812 in the "/etc/monit.conf file" (so far, kept the

Monit 4.9, Mongrel 1.0.1, Rails 1.2.6, Mac OS X 10.4.11 (PPC) I don''t know whether this is a mongrel issue or a monit issue. I''m trying to poke my way around a system set up by someone else. I have no more experience w/ mongrel that local Rails dev at this point, and a conceptual understanding of how monit is working. I have the Deploying Rails beta book, and I''m

Sorry , I forget it for another monitoring tool monit that we have used in our production systems to restart asterisk in case of asterisk crash or halt. I have attached a monit configuration for your reference. it will work almost in all cases This configuration will check Asterisk for following 1. will check for Asterisk process. 2. will check Asterisk via AMI 3. will check

Hi, I try install python-psycopg2 with other packages, when run apt-get -y update returns the errors: err: /Stage[main]/Etc/Package[build-essential]/ensure: change from purged to present failed: Could not set ''present on ensure: Read-only file system - /tmp/puppet20120216-1063-18q7lsz-0 at /tmp/vagrant-puppet/manifests/vagrant.pp:15 err:

While I could figure this out, I''m asking here first to see if anyone has already dealt with/created this. I''m running a mongrel cluster, running 4 mongrels on ports 8001-4. I''m using capistrano to deploy. And I''d like to use monit to check to make sure everything is running nice. I''d like to have monit restart only single mongrels if they fail, and

Hi, was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem and knows why or a solution. basically my mongrels seems to work fine. i am running three clusters all which are monitored by monit. monit has the ability to restart a mongrel if it doesn''t pass a port connection test. so the problem is that after some time. aprox. 6hrs. to 20hrs. after clusters are started, the mongrels get

Hello, I''m trying to do this: service { monit: ensure => running, enable => true, hasrestart => true, if ($operatingsystem == ''centos'') { hasstatus => true, }, require => Package[''monit''], subscribe => File[''monit.conf''], } And it doesn''t work in

With the latest version of Mongrel, will Mongrel reopen log files when sent a HUP signal? I would like to do a log rotate, but would prefer not to restart the mongrel instances as monit is watching after them all. monit is great for restarting the individual instances, but I would prefer not to do a restart all through monit. I would be curious if this is advisable. -- ----- Christopher

On one of my development servers mongrel dies when idle for any length of time. Since I''ve not been able to solve that problem I thought I''d route around it by using monit to kick things when necessary. My monitrc contains the following... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- check process mongrel_8310 with pidfile

Hi all, I currently use puppet and cacti, and am in need of an alerting system for systems/services that are down. Alerts through cacti are a major pain, so I have begun looking at a small and simple tool called monit. Monit, however, seems to be doing a lot of things that puppet is already doing for me (such as checking if services are running and starting them if they aren''t, etc), so

Greetings - I dug around a bit and I couldn''t find a definitive answer to this question, apologies if it''s been covered before. A box running a apache 2.2 -> mongrel cluster for a rails app got power cycled at my ISP. Unfortunately monit couldn''t start the mongrel processes because the pid files were still there. Here is my monit config (for each mongrel

Hi -- I have been reading documentation and googling around to find the correct way to do this but I have found many ways that seem to not work, or the documentation makes no reference to. I am using mongrel cluster with 10 mongrels for each server. Recently I installed monit but which lead me to find the correct way to start/stop mongrel instances one pid at a time. I am assuming one pid at a

Hi there, I would like to config Monit to monitor our production-unicorn-workers What memory size would you recommend to be the maximum reachable for a worker? so Monit can restart it. Thanks a lot ! Manuel Palenciano

Hello all, So, I''ve been using monit with mongrel for a while now, since the 0.3.x days (I think it was). It used to work fine, but now I seem to be having some trouble. I''m currently using mongrel 1.0.1 and I am using the same monit configuration I''ve always been using, yet everytime monit should restart mongrel, I get "Execution failed". For the start

Hi! I run a mongrel cluster with 6 mongrels in it. I want to monitor them individually for process hangs (and then restart them) and this is the solution I came up with: Here''s my configuration file for monit (/usr/local/etc/monitrc): [snipped relevant bits] ------ #check lighttpd process check process lighttpd with pidfile /var/run/lighttpd.pid start program =
