Re: Avoid alert on log rotation

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

monit tests if the process is running - it cannot differentiate that the 
process was stopped intentionally by 3rd party action ... if you shutdown the 
process intentionally during logrotate, you should disable its monitoring first 
(part of logratotation "prerotate" script):

        monit unmonitor myprocess

and when logratotation finished, enable it again (part of logratotation 
"postrotate" script):

        monit monitor myprocess



Regards,
Martin
