Re: Monit displays "not monitored" for services it fails to start

[Martin Pala]

Can you provide more details?

When monit fails to restart the service, the service status is displayed 
as 'failed' and monit tries to restart it next cycle again - it doesn't 
switch the state to 'unmonitored' automatically (until the timeout 
statement or unmonitor action is used).

Maybe you meant that when you used 'if <x> restarts within <y> cycles 
then timeout' rule then monit sets the state to 'not monitored' when the 
rule is true?

Can you send the configuration, monit version and describe the condition 
under which you see the problem?

Thanks,
Martin
