Re: monit alerts with exec

[Martin Pala]

The reminder and alert-on-state-change-only behaviour is for alert action only ... not exec action. The exec action is executed each time the test failed (as described in the previous email) - the test frequency is driven by "set daemon" (monit poll cycle) and "every" option, which allows to skip some cycles.

It seems like the exec calls my script and it triggers every minute.  This seems to be outside of the reminder so where is this interval set?

Can you show me an example of how I can control this in a script?  My script captures some performance data from a script when the threshold is reached but I only want it executed -emailed to me once.

Hello,

 

the native alert action sends the alert on state change only (the reminder option may send alert again if the problem persists).

 

The exec action is executed each time the test failed, as monit delegates full responsibility for the event processing to the script and cannot assume the script is to be executed on state change only. You can modify your script to handle state change only (monit provides set of environment variables to the script: http://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#ENVIRONMENT) or you can use M/Monit (www.mmonit.com) as Monit extension, which has better alert rules support (including custom alert scripts execution on state change).

 

Regards,

Martin

This works including the reminder for /testfs.

However, the srvstat_mail  script seems to run fine but continues and emails the output every minute.

I am very new to monit so my code will need some improvements.  Hopefully you can help me clean this up.

 

Thanks

monitrc:

 

Global

set alert myemail with reminder on 5 cycles   #receive all alerts

 

 

 

check filesystem [/testfs] with path /dev/fslv00

if space usage > 90% for 1 times within 5 cycles then exec "/opt/monit/bin/srvstat_mail"

Script:

 

srvstat_mail calls another script > srvstat which is sent to a file srvstat.out > which I cat contents and email.
