Monit - file checks with reminders

[Ron Kelley]

Greetings all,

I searched through the archives and could not find an exact match to my problem.

I have monit v5.6 running on CentOS 6.3, and I am trying to get the "check 
file" function working with the reminder option.  For some reason, monit never sends 
a new alert on the reminder cycle.  Here is what I have:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
set daemon 30
set alert address@hidden
...
...
...
check file MegaRAID with path /var/log/MegaRAID.log
   alert address@hidden with reminder on 4 cycles
   if match "Degraded" then alert
   if match "Failed" then alert
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monit will issue the first alert then will not alert anymore.  I have a cron 
job that runs every minute to get the RAID card status and put the result in 
the /var/log/MegaRAID.log file (thus, the file gets overwritten every minute).  
Here is what the MegaRAID.log file looks like:

                State              : Online
                State              : Online
                State              : Online
                State              : Online
                State              : Online
                State              : Online
                State              : Failed
                State              : Online
                State              : Online
                State              : Online
                State              : Online
                State              : Partially Degraded
                State              : Partially Degraded


Since this file is updated every minute, I was expecting to get an alert every 
2 minutes (daemon at 30secs, with reminder on 4 cycles == thus, 2 mins).

Can someone please let me know what I need to do to get this working?

Thanks,

-Ron
