Re: Monitoring multiple directories

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

one check statement per directory is necessary. You can use the custom "check 
program" script to trigger the event in the case that some directory has 
changed.

You can find more details about the custom checks scripts in the monit manual:

Regards,
Martin
