moniting monit

[Mark Olliver]

Hi,

 

I am setting up a central server to monit our other monit instances in a triangular fashion. This will a ensure I know if one of the other servers goes down but also the plan is to let me know if monit fails.

 

I can test the server with a simple icmp ping, but I was wondering is there a specific protocol test for testing monit? Or do I just need to use a standard tcp test to port 2812?

 

Thanks
