Re: Monitoring cacti process/PID with Monit

[drich]

Monit isn't designed to monitor something like cacti that doesn't run as a daemon. Cacti instead is a process started by cron that runs periodically (typically ever 5 minutes).

What is it that you are really trying to do? Are you just trying to make sure that every Cacti run has completed successfully?
