Re: Monit Check Syntax

[Christina Arsenault]

Martin,



Thanks for your help, it was user error! ;)  I just needed to add #!/usr/bin/python to 
the top of the script, so I could leave out the "/usr/bin/python" at the 
beginning of the path:

ie:

check program movie_creation with path 
"/home/carsenault/hlcam/videos/monit_movie_creation_test.py" with timeout 60 
seconds every 15 cycles
      if status != 0 then alert



Appreciate it!

~Christina

Hi,

the configuration looks OK ... what the problem is? (please provide the error 
messages or describe the expected behaviour vs. reality).

If you use the "every <x> cycles" option, the cycle length is set with the global "set daemon 
<y>" => if you want to run it once per 15 minutes, with that configuration the "set daemon 60" 
should approximately do the trick.

Note that monit scheduler  currently isn't wall-clock based ... the cycle length is variable 
(based on number of tests and timeouts ... the "set daemon" sets the sleep 
interval between cycles => even with 15 * 60 it won't be exactly 15 minutes as the time 
consumed by the cycle itself is not included. We will fix this in the future - the monit 
scheduler will allow the run the tests at exact time.

Regards,
Martin
