Re: Add process during runtime without process is not running error

[Michael Wittig]

My check looks like this:

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

  start program = "/opt/api/server.sh start 8888"

  stop program = "/opt/api/server.sh stop"

  if failed port 8888 protocol http request "/ping" for 2 cycles then restart

Why do you mean by "please check that the pid from the file is running". So I should start the application first (put the pid into the file) and then lat monit take over? Is there a more elegant solution if there is no pid at all?

Hi,

the way you added the configuration is correct, the problem will be most probably in the "check process" configuration ... if you use a pidfile, please check that the pid from the file is running, if you use a pattern based check, test the pattern using "monit procmatch <pattern>"

Regards,

Martin

Hi

I want to add processes to monit (monit-5.2.5-3.11.amzn1.x86_64) during runtime. So far I include

include /etc/monit.d/*

all files from a certain directory. When I add a new process I place a file into /etc/monit.d/ and run

monit -c /etc/monit.conf reload

Th problem is that I get a process is not running error in my logs. Any idea how I can get rid of the error message?

I most likely will not be alerted on this. But I want to get alerts if my process dies after the first start?

Thanks

Michael
