Hello,
we use Monit to handle all the application servers (IBM Http Server, IBM
Liberty Profile and WildFly Application Server) and some other non Java
applications only.
Monit will be started/stopped by Systemd, but the applications are
started/stopped by Monit only. From my point of view this works well.
To start/stop Monit and the used user environment we use something like
this (dienste.service), Monit run in the user context:
[Unit]
SourcePath=/usr/local/bin/dienste
Before=multi-user.target graphical.target
[Service]
TasksMax=8000
Type=forking
Restart=no
TimeoutSec=10min
IgnoreSIGPIPE=no
KillMode=process
GuessMainPID=no
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/dienste start
ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/dienste stop
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
We decided to use one monitor to handle applications only. This is more
easy to handle and limit the configuration complexity. Today Monit fits
well and handle applications in a more useful way than Systemd.
In a short word, we start and stop the system base via Systemd, but all
other applications are started by Monit. And we are able to use a
similar configuration for Linux and AIX systems.
A suggestion only,
Lutz
