Re: Only one restart?

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

two hints:

1.) use https instead of http test - you need to add 'type tcpssl' to 
the rule

2.) it could be better to split connection test and stunnel check:

 check process stunnel4 with pidfile "/var/run/stunnel.pid"
  start program = "/etc/init.d/stunnel4 start"
  stop  program = "/etc/init.d/stunnel4 stop"
  alert address@hidden

 check host stunnel4-target with address 127.0.0.1
  if failed port 81 type tcpssl protocol HTTP then alert
  alert address@hidden
  depends on stunnel4


=> stunnel target service depends on running stunnel process. In the 
case that stunnel is running but the connection failed, monit will not 
try to restart stunnel (which makes no sence).
