Re: monitor only when IP address is local

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

you can set the monitoring mode to "mode manual" (so the service is not 
monitored by default) and enable/disable the monitoring when you migrate the IP 
address using monit CLI utility ("monit unmonitor <servicename>" and "monit 
monitor <servicename>")

If you have more active/passive services like this, you can put them into 
service group and monitor/start the whole service group:

   monit -g mygroup monitor

Regards,
Martin
