[monit] monit on freebsd

[Francois]

I'm trying to monitor a ferret server on my freebsd 6.3 machine. It runs on port 9011 so I have a line like this as part of my monit configuration:

if failed port 9011 then alert

unfortunately monit always reports a failure.

Some facts:

- Monit is running on the the same machine as the ferret server

- from the command line of the server I can do the following:

address@hidden /var/tmp]# telnet localhost 9011

Trying ::1...

Connected to localhost.choopa.com.

Escape character is '^]'.

And as can be seen I get connected.

- However, if I try to connect via 127.0.0.1 instead of using localhost I get an error:

address@hidden /var/tmp]# telnet 127.0.0.1 9011

Trying 127.0.0.1...

telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

Any ideas on how I can monitor this through monit? Looks like this might have something to do with ipv6?

- thanks
