Re: daemon poll interval - monit 5.14 on CentOS 6

[Martin Pala]

Monit's default configuration file is /etc/monitrc ... the /etc/monit.conf is 
not used, unless it was added to the search path by 3rd party (for example 
package maintainer).

There could be also ".monitrc" file in your home directory ... the default 
search sequence for monit configuration file:

        ~/.monitrc
        /etc/monitrc
        @SYSCONFDIR/monitrc
        /usr/local/etc/monitrc
        ./monitrc
