Mail notification only on some case.

[Guillaume François]

Hi all,

We have a global setting set to.

set alert address@hidden

and an alert about a process check

check process my-process with pidfile /var/run/my-process.pid

    start program = "/usr/sbin/service my-process start"

    stop program = "/usr/sbin/service my-process stop"

    if failed port 1234 for 3 times within 4 cycles then restart

We would like to get notified only when the service is failling after some time the restart and not when monit is gonna to restart it.

This process "die" on a daily basis due to log rotation issue. We want monit to detect it and restart it -> this part is ok

But in fact, we would like to be notified ony when service is still failling after 10 check so someting like this

if failed port 1234 for 3 times within 4 cycles then restart with noalert

if failed port 1234 for 8 times within 10 cycles then alert

Is that possible ? within one check ?

Do we have to duplicate the check to have two check/notification rules ?

Thanks to response.
