Re: Service name with whitespace

[Ron Kelley]

…doesn’t answer your question directly, but I use underscores in place of spaces.  Like this “check host “Test_Host”.

Hello,

 

I just tried to give a service a somewhat more legible name containing a whitespace and realised that it is not allowed:

 

check host "Test Host" host with address 192.168.10.140
   if failed ping then alert
 

When reloading monit, it says:

 

/etc/monit.d/test.conf:1: unbalanced quotes '"'
/etc/monit.d/test.conf:1: syntax error 'Host'

 

Same with single quotes.

 

How can I insert a whitespace into a service name?

 

Kind regards,
