Re: New monit sale pitch

[Martin Pala]

The feature will be usefull on single node s well. For example in the 
case where you are running database, you can let set dependency on local 
filesystem and set the test to stop the filesystem if more then 95% is 
used. Because the database depends on the storage, before monit will 
stop the storage, it will stop the database correctly first=> Monit will 
defend the database against database inconsistencies/corruption caused 
by 100% filesystem usage.

Similar things could happen to other types of processes too - this was 
just one example. It could be used to start/stop shared storage as 
described in previous mail under cluster too.

We will se if Monit will evolve by nature to clustering capable monitor :)
