restart after cycles

[Mark Olliver]

Hi,

 

I am a little unsure on the retry / restart rules, I have checked the config below and it is valid my question is does it mean that it will restart after which of the following:

1, 2 failed connection attempts in 1 cycle

2, 2 failed connection attempts in either cycle

3, 4 failed connection attempts over 2 cycles

 

Ideally I would want option 3. I then want it to alert me should it then still be failing on the 3 cycle as that probably means I need manual intervention.

 

set mail-format {

    from: address@hidden

    subject: $SERVICE $HOST

    message: Monit $ACTION $SERVICE at $DATE on $HOST: $DESCRIPTION.

    }

 

check process postgresql with pidfile /var/run/postgresql/8.4-main.pid

    start program = "/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start"

    stop  program = "/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 stop"

    if failed unixsocket /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432 protocol pgsql retry 2 2 cycles then restart

    if failed unixsocket /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432 protocol pgsql 3 cycles then alert

    if failed host localhost port 5432 protocol pgsql retry 2 2 cycles then restart

    if failed host localhost port 5432 protocol pgsql 3 cycles then alert

    alert address@hidden

    group database

 

Thanks
