Resource Checks using hostname

[Holder, Shane]

Good day,

 

I am wondering if it is possible to create resource checks without specifying a check system rule.  The reason is I have several thousand systems which will be running monit and I would like to have one monitrc file for them all, the issue I am running into is the check system rule seems to require a string and that string is used when the system first pings mmonit.  I don’t want to go back into mmonit and try and add the hostname.  Effectively what I’m trying to achieve is a file which looks like.

 

check system `hostname`

   if loadavg (1min) > 4 then alert

   if loadavg (5min) > 2 then alert

   if memory usage > 75% then alert

   if cpu usage (user) > 70% then alert

   if cpu usage (system) > 30% then alert

   if cpu usage (wait) > 20% then alert

 

where hostname is retrieved, not specified.

 

Thanks,
