Re: Newbie program check isn't returning any status at all?

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

please can you run monit in verbose mode (-v option) and provide the output and also output of "ls -l /usr/local/bin/appcheck.sh"?

Regards,

Martin

Hi,

My goal is to check if a webapp is running by checking it's HTTP request header. All of that check is stuck in a shell script that looks like this:

curl https://myfavoriteapp.com --location --silent --output /dev/null --write-out "%{http_code}\n" | grep "[2].."

exit $?

Playing around with it I can see that it works fine at least from in bash. The thing is that when I tell monit to run it like this:

check program SCN_PROD_Web_Application with path "/usr/local/bin/appcheck.sh"

      if status != 0 then alert

It does seem to do so but then report and error saying that it failed. In the status UI it says:

 Parameter Value

   Name SCN_PROD_Web_Application

   Path /usr/local/bin/appcheck.sh

   Status Status failed

   Monitoring mode active

   Monitoring status Monitored

   Existence If doesn't exist 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then restart else if

   succeeded 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then alert

   Data collected Fri, 04 May 2012 18:09:49

   Last started Not yet started

   Last Exit value N/A

   Test Exit value if exit value != 0 within 600 seconds then alert

Which kind of looks like it never ran.

Reading the docs I think I'm doing it right, but I just proved myself wrong.

What am I doing wrong here guys?

GNU bash, version 3.2.25
