Re: Monit only tries to start the service only one time

Hi,

yes, see the "repeat" option for the exec action: https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#ACTION

Best regards,

Hi, 

I have set the following configuration to check if two pools are started.

check program check_pool_nfs_vdic_images with path "/usr/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/virsh pool-list | grep nfs-vdic-mgmt-vm'"

    with timeout 60 seconds

    depends on check_nfs_resources

    if status != 0 for 2 times within 2 cycles then exec "/usr/bin/virsh pool-start nfs-vdic-mgmt-vm"

    if status != 0 for 60 cycles then unmonitor

Parent resources are Ok!

As I expect, if It it is not started on a 2 consecutive polls, It may try to start it, but I have realized that It just tries to start the pool only one time as can be seen in logs:

Is there any way to instruct monit to try to start the pool more than one time? (only if check fails two consecutive times)

Thanks a lot.
