Re: Correct method to monitor service?

[frwa onto]

Hi Martin,

              Thank you I just did service monit restart and now it works. My next question what is different between starting using say monit start service1 or using the other method  ./startDaemon.sh. I notice in both methods when the missing pid monit do restart my app ?

Another thing  just to confirm with you by enabling it am I allowing port 2812 access from outside or will this post any security concern even though I am not using the web version?

set httpd port 2812 and
    use address localhost  # only accept connection from localhost
    allow localhost        # allow localhost to connect to the server and
    allow admin:monit      # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'

Please make sure you did "monit reload" after configuration changes.

Hi Martin,

              In my version I did this 

## Monit has an embedded web server which can be used to view status of 

## services monitored and manage services from a web interface. See the

## Monit Wiki if you want to enable SSL for the web server. 

#

 set httpd port 2812 and

     use address localhost  # only accept connection from localhost

     allow localhost        # allow localhost to connect to the server and

     allow admin:monit      # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'

#     allow @monit           # allow users of group 'monit' to connect (rw)

#     allow @users readonly  # allow users of group 'users' to connect readonly

#

must I do any other configuration for port 2812 ? Cause I get this error Cannot create socket to [localhost]:2812 -- Connection refused

In my case my centos is bare minimal with got gnome nothing ?

You need to add it to the monit configuration file ... it is part of default configuration file, snip:
