public repository for monit checks?

[Tom H]

Hi,

I see the configuration examples page; 
http://mmonit.com/wiki/Monit/ConfigurationExamples and that there are 
lots of examples on the web of scripts that can be dropped into 
/etc/monit.d/*.conf

However would there be any value, (and does this exist already?) of a 
public svn or git repository to contain a set of basic checks for httpd, 
mysql, tomcat etc.

I am aware that this would require a little bit of customization to 
match different distributions, but if you are not using a package with 
redhat or debian file system layouts, then you are probably a 
roll-your-own sort anyway, and wouldn't be interested.

Conditional executional could be achieved by having a install script to 
test for packages similar to munin, and having a parallel folder which 
you link in as required for example;

/usr/share/monit/monit.d/mysql.conf
/usr/share/monit/monit.d/httpd.conf
/usr/share/monit/monit.d/tomcat6.conf


and then to enable the checks symlink in the ones you want ie;

ln -s /usr/share/monit/monit.d/tomcat6.conf /etc/monit.d/tomcat6.conf

Or do it all automatically by testing for the packages with a script...



Cheers,
Tom
