Re: Periodic Heartbeat EMails

[Paul Tiseo]

So, the only way to have a heartbeat would be with a check that will always fail (ex: check for known non-existent file) and the reminder clause?

Hi,

monit sends the error event after ok->failure state change and the success event only when the service had error and recovered. If monit is started and the service is running fine, monit won't send any event.

Best regards,

Martin

So, I set monitrc to the below. Not sure where I am to add the "reminder" clause so that the heartbeat service is the one that emails me without fail (don't want this to apply to other services). Suggestions?

set daemon    60 with start delay 15
set logfile   /apps/monit.log
set pidfile   /apps/monit.pid
set idfile    /apps/monit.id
set statefile /apps/state

set mailserver smtp.gmail.com port 587
  username "address@hidden" password "aaa"
  using tlsv12

set httpd port 2182
  allow aaa:aaa
  signature disable

set alert address@hidden

#-- HEARTBEAT ---------------------------------------------------------
check host agp-heartbeat address 127.0.0.1 every 2 cycles
  if failed ping then alert
  else if succeeded then alert

Thanks.
