Re: set alert and generated alerts

"^.*OutOfMemoryError.*$"

this doesnt make sense to me :)

your _expression_ should be "OutOfMemoryError"

Same for the rest, 

beware that monit probably dont use pure perl regexp

so it may be greedy

may explain why you receive fake mail.

Hi,

I am in the process of setting up monit to watch over a big amount of tomcats. The configurations are generated for each running tomcat and deposited in a conf.d. I run into two problems:

I tried to limit the amount of mails by including "but not on { instance, nonexist }", but it seems I still get a mail for each monitor/unmonitor for each check.

The second problem is that each mail contains the same $SERVICE. $ACTION is honored (changes between batches of mail).

The checks are grouped into a file per tomcat with a single check looking like:

---snip
check file xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxx-xxxx-su1-slow-requests with path /opt/xxxx/xxxx-xxxxxxx/TomC/xxx-xxx-xxxx-su1/logs/slow-requests.log
  group "xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxx-xxxx-su1"
  if match
    "^.*OutOfMemoryError.*$"
    then exec "/etc/monit/tools/tomcat-restart.sh /opt/xxxx/xxxx-xxxxxxx/TomC/xxx-xxx-xxxx-su1" as uid tomcat and gid tomcat
  if match
    "^.*SEVERE: All threads .* are currently busy.*$"
    then exec "/etc/monit/tools/tomcat-restart.sh /opt/xxxx/xxxx-xxxxxxx/TomC/xxx-xxx-xxxx-su1" as uid tomcat and gid tomcat
  set alert address@hidden but not on { instance }
  mail-format {
    from: address@hidden
    subject: $SERVICE $EVENT at $DATE
    message: Monit $ACTION $SERVICE at $DATE on $HOST: $DESCRIPTION.
    best regards,
    Hendrik Hasenbein
  }
  set mailserver x.24translate.de
---snap

The attached file contains a full group.

Thanks in advance,
Hendrik Hasenbein
