Re: Syntax for else if

[Mehul Ved]

Here's what I have configured:

  if 2 restarts within 10 cycles then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

  else if succeeded then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

but when I do monit validate it throws following error:

  /etc/monit/conf.d/frontendLogger.conf:19: syntax error 'else'

The else in the above configuration is the 19th line.

Here's the whole file, in case it helps

----- START -----

check process frontendLogger matching frontendLogger

  start program = "/bin/systemctl start frontendLogger"

  stop program = "/bin/systemctl stop frontendLogger"

  restart program = "/bin/systemctl restart frontendLogger"

  group nodejs

  if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 10500 protocol http

    request /ping

    content = "PONG"

    with timeout 2 seconds

    for 2 times in 4 cycles

    then restart

  if failed host vr.com port 443 type TCPSSL protocol http

    request /logger/ping

    content = "PONG"

    with timeout 2 seconds

    for 2 times within 4 cycles

    then restart

  if 2 restarts within 10 cycles then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

  else if succeeded then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

  if does not exist for 3 times in 10 cycles then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

  else if succeeded then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

  if changed pid for 3 times in 10 cycles then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

  else if succeeded then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

  if memory > 70 MB for 3 cycles then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

  else succeeded then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

  if cpu > 1% for 3 cycles then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

  else if succeeded then exec "/usr/local/bin/pagerduty-trigger frontendlogger"

Hello,

  I am configuring pagerduty integration with monit and have run into a roadblock while setting it up. As per the pagerduty documentation,

- to trigger a new incident, we need to add

if does not exist for 3 cycles
        then exec "/etc/monit/pagerduty-trigger crond"

which works fine.

- to automatically mark the issue as resolved, we need to add

    else if passed for 3 cycles
        then exec "/etc/monit/pagerduty-resolve crond"

but this causes syntax error.

So, I looked up the monit documentation at https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html and it shows the following syntax:

IF <test> THEN <action> [ELSE IF SUCCEEDED THEN <action>]

and this causes validation error as well.

I went through the changelog as well as the issue list on bitbucket but failed to find any information on the same. Has anything changed? Did I miss something here?
