RE: Application failed to start after timestamp check failed in monit

[Roose, Marco]

Hi asurti,
as far as I understand Monit this is the expected behavior as each check is
"granular". I would use an exec statement to restart the services like this

check file checkFile with path pathToFile
   if timestamp > 4 minute for 8 cycles then exec "for $s in fooBar fooBar1
fooBar2; do service $s restart; done"

Kind regards,
Dr. Marco Roose

Subject: Application failed to start after timestamp check failed in monit

I am having a simple monit control file which contains the following

/check process fooBar1 with pidfile fooBar1PidFile
   start program = "/etc/init.d/fooBar1 start" with timeout 10 seconds
   stop program = "/etc/init.d/fooBar1 stop"
   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then unmonitor

check process fooBar2 with pidfile fooBar2PidFile
   start program = "/etc/init.d/fooBar2 start" with timeout 10 seconds
   stop program = "/etc/init.d/fooBar2 stop"
   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then unmonitor

check process fooBar with pidfile fooBarPidFile
   start program = "/etc/init.d/fooBar start" with timeout 10 seconds
   stop program = "/etc/init.d/fooBar stop"
   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then unmonitor
   if memory usage > 25.0 MB for 4 cycles then alert
   depends on fooBar1
   depends on fooBar2
   depends on checkFile


check file checkFile with path pathToFile
   if timestamp > 4 minute for 8 cycles then restart/

Here the intention is to restart fooBar, fooBar1 and fooBar2 applications
when the timestamp check for checkFile fails. But what actually happens is
it tries to restart the checkFile instead of fooBar.

This check was working fine with monit version 5.5, but not working with
5.18.

This is what I am getting when timestamp fails and after that 8 cycles are
elapsed.
/
'checkFile' timestamp for pathToFile failed -- current timestamp is Fri, 08
Dec 2017 12:47:04 'fooBar' failed to start -- could not start required
services: 'checkFile'
'fooBar' start action failed
/
Am I missing something here? Thanks in advance
