[monit] Problem restarting a process

[Arut Selvan]

Hello Folks,

 

I am using monit version 3.2 on my Redhat 7.3 based system to monitor and restart processes.

when process plum  gets killed by user manually monit doesn't restart it sometimes ( 3 out of 10 times).

However, if I change the mode to active from manual, it seems to restart it always.

Now the problem is when I sent the fix for review someone pointed out that we use manual mode

by default in our project and also in active mode monitor won't monitor for the cpuusage/memusage criteria.

Is that assumption true? Please clarify ?

 

I would like to know if it is a bug in monit code. My organization would not allow me to upgrade to a newer

version of monit right now, so I need to fix the issue in the current version of monit itself.

 

Appreciate your suggestions.

 

Thanks,

Arut

 

check plum with pidfile /opt/cbz/var/run/plum.pid
        start program = "/etc/init.d/plum start"
        stop program = "/etc/init.d/plum stop"
        cpuusage > 60.0 for 3 cycles restart
        memusage > 35.0 restart
        mode manual

 

bash-2.05a# monit -V
This is monit version 3.2
