Re: [monit] Subject: Disabling timing out to "not monitored"

[Martin Pala]

Yes, both options are correct.

When some user requests stop/unmonitor, it is logged in monit log => you can 
find when it happened.

The second option (timeout statement) is not enabled automatically - it 
requires configuration: "if <x> restarts within <y> cycles then timeout" ... if 
you have not added it to the service configuration, monit won't timeout the 
service on restart failure.
