Re: Monit stopped noticing a pid died

[Russell Simpkins]

Hi,

I have the daemon set to 10 seconds

set daemon  10
   with start delay 240

Hi,

what's the poll cycle settings? ("set daemon <seconds>" statement)

Monit performs the checks and then sleep for given number of seconds. If you poll cycle is long, Monit will not notice the process died until next cycle.

Martin

Hi,

I have a check on a process via a pid file that monit reported as up, when the pid was dead and I was wondering if there were any good tips for figuring out why. We're running monit 5.9. When I run a status, I can see my process listed as running and monitored:

  Process 'recentnews-feed'

    status                            Running

    monitoring status                 Monitored

    pid                               9680

    parent pid                        1

    uid                               5005

    effective uid                     5005

    gid                               5006

    uptime                            1d 3h 20m 

    children                          0

    memory kilobytes                  1805064

    memory kilobytes total            1805064

    memory percent                    25.7%

    memory percent total              25.7%

    cpu percent                       0.1%

    cpu percent total                 0.1%

    data collected                    Fri, 19 Dec 2014 04:14:04

When I check to see if the pid is actually running, it's not there:

  $ ps -ef | grep -i 9680

  root     24520 24029  0 06:39 pts/0    00:00:00 grep -i 9680

My monit config:

check process recentnews-feed with pidfile /var/run/recentnews-feed.pid      start program = "/sbin/service recentnews-feed start"
  stop program = "/sbin/service recentnews-feed stop"
  if 50 restarts within 50 cycles then timeout

Again, just curious if this is a known issue in 5.9 or how to figure out why monit thought the pid was up when it was not.

Thanks,

Russ
