[monit] Nginx + monit: Connection failed nginx

[Ajay Agrawal]

I'm having trouble getting monit to work properly with nginx. 

From past few days monit is e-mails me the following 

error even though nginx is running and is accepting 

connections:

Subject of the mail: monit alert --  Connection failed nginx

Body:

Connection failed Service nginx

 

      Date:        Mon, 04 Jan 2010 07:20:50 +0000

      Action:      alert

      Host:        www.mydomain.com

      Description: 'nginx' failed protocol test [HTTP] at INET[www.mydomain.com:80] via TCP

The relevant stanza in my monit.conf file is:

check process nginx with pidfile /usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid

     if failed host www.mydomain.com port 80 protocol http

       and request "/" then alert

     if cpu is greater than 60% for 2 cycles then alert

     if cpu > 90% for 5 cycles then alert

     if children > 50 then alert

     if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then alert

I have seen the similar reports from other members but not able to fix it.

I am using monit version 4.10.1

Thanks,

Ajay
