One thing I'm surprised is lacking is service uptime metrics. Since monit's primary function is ensuring that services are running rather than hosts, I'd have thought service uptime reports would be included. Part of my job includes a monthly report to the board of our service availability, and as we all know, host uptime isn't directly correlated to service uptime.
I was also somewhat surprised that only hostgroups were available and not servicegroups. However, I noticed that the database does include a servicegroup table, though unpopulated.
Are service uptime metrics and servicegroups in the works? I really want to 'sell' m/monit to our CTO, but if service uptimes aren't available, I'll have to keep nagios running in parallel to get those metrics, but that then makes it harder to justify to the CTO purchasing m/monit (we're a small startup, like almost everybody else in the world)...
Thanks for listening. -- Paul Theodoropoulos www.anastrophe.com
