You can view monit's log file from the web interface, http:// 
www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/shoots/monit_httpd2.gif see that button  
in the lower right corner :)

Though this require that you setup monit to log to its own log file.

For the above you will have to wait for m/monit (http:// 
www.tildeslash.com/mmonit/) which will provide all this[1]. Monit  
will post events to m/monit that is stored in a central database for  
your viewing pleasure. m/monit is still smoke and mirror and under  
development.


1. We want to keep monit small and focused. All the other ballyhoo  
will be pushed over to m/monit.
