Hi all,
I have used monit for a long time and I love it. Thanks for all the hard works.
It came to my realization that email alerts are getting old and there are certainly needs to tight monit into other monitoring solutions such as nagios/Icinga/Sensu. The idea is instead of getting alert emails from Monit and other monitoring solution I would like to see monit submit statuses/alerts to message queues such as 0MQ or the likes and then my monitoring solution to read of the queues and take care of the logics and decide how to alert me. Besides that, I think there are some overlapping in using monit and other monitoring solutions.
Currently, I use monit to monitor and auto restart critical services and then alert. I then also use another monitoring solution to monitor whether these critical services are running or not.
I would rather want to use monit to take care the works of monitoring and restarting these critical services and submit results to queues and the other monitoring solution will just handle other monitoring needs but is responsible for all monitoring alerts.
There are real needs to be able to monitor and auto restart critical services but there are quite a lot of overlaps in using these solutions together.
Please point me to any information that I might have missed and share your thoughts on this feature request.
Thank you very much,
Steven.
