Hi, As part of a web application that I am writing I need to have something listening for any packets that are received on a particular port and then process the packets using some of my Rails models, hence I start the script via the ./script/runner command. This script always needs to be running, if it exits for any reason, I need it to start up again very quickly. Hence, I was considering

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

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

I have a cronjob that runs "ruby script/runner ''Channel.preload''". Channel is a parent model, Item is the child model (i.e., Channel has_many :items and Item belongs_to :channel). The coupling is minimized, the coherence looks good, but I''m not sure the model is the right place to put this code. Is there a better place to put this code, e.g., a component (I

Hello Mongrels, Building on the last messages about Fastthread, can we get a detailed survey of the different ways people are deploying their applications? It will help with near-future Mongrel development. Please include the following things: * Framework, if any (Camping, Merb, Rails, Nitro, Ramaze, IOWA, Rack...) * Mongrel version * Mongrel handlers used (rails, dirhandler, camping,

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

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

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

Hello, The following cron job is failing to run: 00 16 * * * root ruby /home/nathan/rails/notifications/script/runner -e production Notifier.deliver_summary My understanding from the Rails Wiki is that this should do it.

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:

There are so many ways to do cron jobs in Rails (Backgroundrb, script/ runner, etc.) but I am wondering what would be the best to use in production, just for sending out email/SMS notifications? For example, an email automatically gets sent a day before the due date of a project milestone. Thanks for the help! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because

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

I''m still tinkering, moving over code from CFE to Puppet in a test environment. One item I did with CfE was manage services. If something wasn''t running, it was restarted. Puppet''s service integration makes this easy. The flip side, is how do you guarantee Puppet''s running? I pulled some tricks with CfE to ensure it was always running. I made CfE a direct

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

I''m trying to run a rails script using cron and I keep getting the following error: /home/domains/lists.lanfusion.com/script/../config/boot.rb:18:in `require'': no such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError) from /home/domains/lists.lanfusion.com/script/../config/boot.rb:18 from /home/domains/lists.lanfusion.com/script/runner:2 When I run the script from ssh it

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
