Re: [monit] Problem restarting a process

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

the difference between manual and default automatic mode is very simple and doesn't have any influence on monitoring capabilities. The manual mode just doesn't monitor the service until instructed to do so - when the monitoring is enabled, the functionality is the same.

You can run monit with the -v option to see detailed progress.

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
