Re: [monit] Monit to monitor http process, not response code

[Martin Pala]

if you don't want restart, then just replace the "restart" action with 
"alert" like this:

  if failed host 127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> port 443 type tcpssl
    protocol http
    then alert

It is also possible to use send/expect statement to prepare custom 
protocol test. See monit manual for details 
(http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/manual.php#connection_testing)

Excerpt example from monit manual:

 if failed host cave.persia.ir port 4040
    send "Open, Sesame!\r\n"
    expect "Please enter the cave\r\n"
    send "Shut, Sesame!\r\n"
    expect "See you later [A-Za-z ]+\r\n"
 then alert
