Re: Monit : unmonitor during logrotate

[Guillaume François]

Hi, 

Solution from Tino Hendricks is the recommended one I would say.

As alternative, you could also not check it, while it is restarted due to rotation  (here down for rotation between 03:00 a.m. and 03:03 a.m) using "not every syntax"

check process mysqld with pidfile /var/run/mysqld.pid
       not every "0-3 3 * * *"

or warn later on with the "for N cycles" syntax.

Best Regards.

Hi Gaston,

how about using logrotate’s „prerotate“ and „postrotate" lines for something like

 prerotate
                monit unmonitor blah
 endscript


https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate

Best,

Hi,

Sometimes monit check services (and in my case restart them) while they are rotating their logs.

Do somebody faced the same problem ?

Is there some good practice to avoid monitoring during logrotate ?

Thanks in advance
