Monit Help

I installed monit using

yum install monit

Code (markup):

I havent been able to get it to run at all.

The service list contains the following entries:

Process Name          = mysql
 Group                = database
 Pid file             = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
 Monitoring mode      = active
 Start program        = '/etc/init.d/mysqld start' timeout 30 second(s)
 Stop program         = '/etc/init.d/mysqld stop' timeout 30 second(s)
 Existence            = if does not exist 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then restart else if succeeded 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then alert
 Pid                  = if changed 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then alert
 Ppid                 = if changed 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then alert
 Port                 = if failed 54.245.117.40:3306 [DEFAULT via TCP] with timeout 5 seconds 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then restart else if succeeded 1 times within 1 cycle(s) then alert
 Timeout              = If restarted 5 times within 5 cycle(s) then unmonitor

Code (markup):

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Check your /var/log/monit.log log file for more details.

The configuration file of monit in Centos, Fedora or RHEL is /etc/monit.conf.

Type the following command to edit:

vi /etc/monit.conf

set daemon 60
set logfile /var/log/monit.log
set mailserver localhost
set mail-format { from:
subject: $SERVICE $EVENT at $DATE
message: Monit $ACTION $SERVICE at $DATE on $HOST: $DESCRIPTION.
}
set alert
include /etc/monit.d/*

To monitor MySQL, create a file /etc/monit.d/mysql, enter:

check process mysqld with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
group mysql
start program = "/etc/init.d/mysqld start"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/mysqld stop"
if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 3306 then restart
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

Start monit using the following command:

/etc/init.d/monit start

 

Thanks for the reply.
I changed my mysql code to the one you provided and that didnt work but it setup the solution.
I ended up typing:

monit status

Code (markup):

Monit showed it was not monitoring the mysqld file even though I restarted the service when I updated the file.

I typed in:

monit monitor mysqld

Code (markup):

Typed in the status code again and it said that the mysqld monitoring was initializing. Waited until it was initialized. I then manually stopped mysql and monit restarted it and sent me an email.
Thanks alot!
