Dear Monit Users,
I am searching for a light open source tool that will replace tripwire. I
was told that Monit can monitor directories and files and report any
changes. I installed the latest monit on SLESE 11 I need a small example or
documentation about file system monitoring.
Thanks.
Abdellah

Subject: [monit] Monitoring ssh tunnel
I want to use monit to keep an ssh tunnel up.
I ssh from inside a broadband network to an external server, so I can
then ssh back down the tunnel. However, I wish to keep that
connection up.
I'm setting up the tunnel with the following arguments:
PORT_FWD="-R 127.0.0.1:40022:127.0.0.1:22 -L 127.0.0.1:40001:127.0.0.1:40001
-N"
My first try was to try an http get down the tunnel from the broadband
machine (and make it available down the tunnel), but this doesn't seem
to return a 200 - perhaps because I'm using virtual hosts, so monit
restarts itself regularly.
I then tried just running netcat on a high port on the external
machine (40001 as above), and testing for that, but if I kill netcat,
monit doesn't seem to notice, and doesn't restart.
Here's my config;
check process atalanta-tunnel with pidfile /var/run/atalanta-tunnel.pid
start program = "/etc/init.d/atalanta-tunnel start"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/atalanta-tunnel stop"
# For use on remote systems
if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 40001
then restart
What am I missing? How should I go about achieving this?
S.
