[monit] monitrc for gmail and workling

[Neil Cauldwell]

Hi all

I've read the monit intro pdf but I'm struggling the monitrc I've inherited from a previous dev. Here's the monitrc with censored credentials, IPs, etc:

http://pastie.org/private/puzxsidw2lt7pdm6syoueg     
   
1. Is there anything obviously wrong with this config? Syntax check says it's ok, but status and validate suggest there's a few issues (see below).
2. How can I check that monit can send email via Gmail?
3. I presumed this config would enable monit web interface access through http://my.slice.ip.address:2812 but I keep getting a page load error. Could the port already be in use? If so, how would I find an appropriate port?
4. I'm not sure if the mailer_worker needs watching. It's a Ruby class that Workling/Starling use, but they're already being monitored. Would any Workling/Starling users know if I even need this in monit? I can confirm that the workling process is running right now, but the previous developer told me it had an 'intermittent fault'...
