Re: monit-general Digest, Vol 42, Issue 7

[Peter M. Abraham]

Greetings Jan-Henrik:

check process apache
    with pidfile "/hsphere/local/var/httpd/logs/httpd.pid"
    start program = "/hsphere/shared/scripts/apache-restart force"
    stop program = "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop"
    if 4 restarts within 7 cycles then timeout
    if children > 255 for 5 cycles then alert
    if cpu usage > 95% for 5 cycles then alert
    if failed port 80 protocol http then restart
    if loadavg (1min) > 5 then restart

RE:  On a regular basis, though the frequency varies, we will get an 
email alert from monit stating the following:

        'apache' process is not running

        Yet, when we log onto the server, Apache is running, the pid 
file present where the pid file is supposed to be, and the PID in the 
pid file is what's running in the process tree.

        What can be done so that Monit doesn't lose the Apache 
connection if the pid file is present, the PID within the pid file 
correct, and live in the process tree?
