Re: [monit] monit-or-ing a status code returned by URI

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

Just to make it clear, parenthesis in monit is just white space and has no meaning, but can be used as syntactical sugar. It is not possible to use parenthesis to change the evaluation of an _expression_. The "if failed" statement is written in stone as "if failed <boolean _expression_> then <action>". Which means in the content check case below that we have to use double negation which may be counterintuitive at first sight.

Ps. It may be easier to see the boolean _expression_ if you use parenthesis, which is legal in monit

if failed (url http:////localhost:9001/status and content != "ERROR") then restart
