Re: Redhat RPM for Monit 5.15 (latest)

[Thomas Spicer]

While not an RPM, the simplest approach for us with CentOS was to use the binary. We use a snippet like this in our Docker CentOS 7 containers:

   MONIT_VERSION=5.15

   # Add Monit binary

    mkdir -p /tmp/monit 

    cd /tmp/monit 

    wget https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/downloads/monit-${MONIT_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz 

    tar -xf monit* && cd monit* 

    rm -Rf /usr/local/bin/mont 

    mv bin/monit /usr/local/bin 

    chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/monit

    ln  /usr/local/bin/monit /usr/bin/monit

We would then copy over any configs in /etc/monit.d and then use "/usr/local/bin/monit -I -c /etc/monitrc -l /ebs/logs/monit/monit.log” to launch Monit

The rpmbuild allows to specify a target: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/ro/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch-rpmbuild.html#id617777

However creating package which will run on different distributions (or versions) will be tricky, as the binary will link with specific library version requirements. In such case it'll be better to create an rpm from our pre-build binaries (https://mmonit.com/monit/dist/binary/), which are universal for all linux distributions (we plan to create packages for various linux distributions and versions in the future).
