Re: Monit does not alert with stop or unmonitor

[Stenver Jerkku]

Hey

I discovered that having multiple `if changed pid` statements in a row does not work. So as a workaround i just did

  if changed pid then alert

I discovered that my upstart script didnt have a respawn limit, so i fixed that and then when i did `timeout when too many restarts`, i got the proper email. 

I think its a bug in Monit, because i tested this quite extensively. :/

Hello,

do you have the "set mailserver" statement + "set alert" in your configuration file? Also check if you don't filter out the mentioned events (see manual for more details: http://www.mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#setting_an_event_filter)

Regards,

Martin

Hello

Im having a problem, that monit does not send "stop" or "unmonitor" alert when it times out with restarts, PIDS ja PPIDS.

Here are relevant configurations:

  set alert address@hidden

  check process visit_registry with pidfile /var/run/visit_registry.pid

    group services

    start program = "/sbin/start visit_registry"

    stop program = "/sbin/stop visit_registry"

    if changed pid then alert every 4 cycles

    if changed pid 4 times within 8 cycles then stop

    if changed ppid 4 times within 8 cycles then stop

    if 3 restarts within 6 cycles then stop

    if cpu > 60% for 2 cycles then alert

    if cpu > 80% for 5 cycles then restart

    if totalmem > 1000.0 MB for 5 cycles then alert

    if totalmem > 1500.0 MB for 5 cycles then alert

    if totalmem > 2000.0 MB for 5 cycles then restart

In the log, i can see:

[UTC Oct 24 10:55:07] error    : 'visit_registry' process PID changed from 10533 to 16947

[UTC Oct 24 10:55:08] info     : 'visit_registry' stop: /sbin/stop

But i never get an alert that monit stopped or unmonitored. I also tried using timeout or unmonitor instead of stop.

Monit version 5.6
