Re: Monit and SQL query

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

I've changed the code in Monit so if your program writes anything to stdout or 
stderr it will be all that is reported in $DESCRIPTION. 

You can download the latest release made available by Martin here, 
http://www.mmonit.com/tmp/monit-5.6_svn20120917.tar.gz

In this version, you only need to do two things to have the output from your 
python script replace the content of the alert message you get from Monit. 

1) You need to add this line in your check program block:
    alert address@hidden mail-format { message: $DESCRIPTION }
  
2) Your program need to print the error message to stdout or stderr. 

That's it.
