I was working with DeepRoot Linux Private Limited, Bangalore, as deepOfixDeveloper / “i-hack-FOSS”. Please don’t go deep in to the word, i can explain in more when we can meet in person). In FOSS India Award deepOfix got the hit at 8th Position [1].

Congratulation to Abhas Abhinav and Team allofus @ DeepRoot Linux. Keep it Up! Just missing my self in that…, But Time/Change is the only constant!

I am proudly saying that (as usual)…

Don't want the Product for the Environment
Want the Environment from the Product.

That’s what deepOfix has done, Of course doing…

That’s all for now….

And now i realized that…Are you agree with this?

#apt-get install monit

Once installed, you’ll find the main configuration file located at /etc/monit/monitrc. Below is sample global configuration file, which will also explain some keywords. for more information do man monit

# poll at 2-minute intervals. Monit will wakeup every two minute to
# monitor things. Time must be given in seconds.
set daemon  120

#If port 25 broken for primary SMTP server,
#all alerts will redirect to secondary SMTP server or
#localhost after 15 seconds timeout.
set mailserver mail.bar.com, mail.foo.com port 10025,
    localhost with timeout 15 seconds

# You can define your mail-notification format. Do man monit
mail-format {
   from: foo@bar.com
   subject: $SERVICE $EVENT at $DATE
   message: Monit $ACTION $SERVICE at $DATE on $HOST,

   Yours sincerely,
   Foo Bar.
   }

# Make monit start its web-server. So you can access it from webrowser.
set httpd port 2812 and
use address 192.168.0.1 # or bar.com

##Monit web-server ACL.
allow localhost       # allow localhost to connect to the server and
allow 192.168.1.2     # allow 192.168.1.2 to connect to the server,
                     # You can give only one entry per line.

allow foo:bar     # user name and password for authentication.

allow bar:bar   # set multiple user to access through browser.

Below is some of the checks that can monitor the various services on the server.

check process apache with pidfile /var/run/apache2.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/apache2 start"
  stop  program = "/etc/init.d/apache2 stop"
  if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 80
       protocol http then restart
  if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

check process mysql with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
  group database
  start program = "/etc/init.d/mysql start"
  stop program = "/etc/init.d/mysql stop"
  if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 3306 then restart
  if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

check process sshd with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid
  start program  "/etc/init.d/ssh start"
  stop program  "/etc/init.d/ssh stop"
  if failed port 22 protocol ssh then restart
  if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

check process named with pidfile /var/run/named.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/bind start"
  stop program = "/etc/init.d/bind stop"
  if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 53 type tcp then alert
  if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 53 type udp then alert
  if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

check process exim4 with pidfile /var/run/exim4/exim.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/exim4 start"
  stop program = "/etc/init.d/exim4 stop"
  if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 25 protocol smtp then alert
  if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

check process clamavd with pidfile /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start"
  stop  program = "/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop"
  if failed unixsocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl then restart
  if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

You can also include other configuration files via include directives:

include /etc/monit/default.monitrc
include /etc/monit/mysql.monitrc

After modifying the configuration file you should check for the syntax to make sure they are correct. To do this run:

# monit -t

Now you can run monit directly:

# monit

Once monit is running you can check for activity with your web-browser. You can of course use the Debian init script to start the monitoring:

/etc/init.d/monit start

For this to work you must enable the service by changing the file /etc/default/monit:

# You must set this variable to for monit to start
startup=1

# To change the intervals which monit should run uncomment
# and change this variable.
# CHECK_INTERVALS=180

For more example of monit check the monit homepage.
