similar to: Service monitoring/"Monit"?

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 =>

Hi everyone, I''m trying to use monit to monitor a backgroundrb process (that gets killed occasionally), but I cant seem to seem the start or stop commands to work (i simply get ''execution failed'') - though they do work fine from the command prompt. I''m not doing anything particularly sophisticated: check process backgroundrb_11006 with pidfile

I have just had a server halt itself and it took me some time to notice. I am planning on implementing some application monitoring using an external service that polls the website from outside. If it can''t reach it then it will SMS me or something. (I would like Prowl on my iPhone and Mac at the same time). I could point the monitoring service at one of the application URLs but I

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? Am I missing something here? set daemon 120 set logfile syslog facility log_daemon set mailserver localhost set httpd port 28212

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

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

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

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

Greetings, I just downloaded the mmonit from mmonit.com site on my CentOS box untarred-unizipped it. As per the documentation, I dutifully typed ./bin/mmonit and it is refusing to run. I am running this as root and SELinux is disabled. running it with strace spews the following (in entireity): [begin] # strace ./bin/mmonit execve("./bin/mmonit", ["./bin/mmonit"], [/* 28

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

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, I''ve a few problems with my rails app at the minute, causing mongrels in a cluster to die, while I debug I''ve setup monit to keep the site running. Problem is, whenever monit starts one of my mongrels via mongrel_rails cluster::start --only 8000 --clean -C /url/to/yml/file I get the following in my log/mongrel.log: ** Mongrel available at 127.0.0.1:8000 ** Writing PID file

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 list , I'm trying to run monit with asterisk, starting as simple # My PBX Asterisk check process asterisk with pidfile /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid start program = "/etc/init.d/asterisk start" with timeout 60 seconds stop program = "/etc/init.d/asterisk stop" with timeout 60 seconds if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 5038 then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then

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 =

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

Hey All, I just wanted to get other peoples take on problems when running merb in production? Just as Rails used to do, the mongrels tend to get heavy/unresponsive over time so need a good kicking by a watcher daemon like god or monit. However, I have had serious problems getting God to restart the process, as the "merb -k <port>" command doesnt appear to work reliably

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 was wondering if this is normal or if it something i need to wonder about. I get Monit alerts that my mongrels PID files have changed.
