Re: monit and m/monit

[Martin Pala]

Hi David,

the "set httpd" statement should be used only once - if there are two instance, 
only one of them will have effect. If you need to have access from both 
localhost and network hosts, just remove the specific bind.

I'd suggest to replace these two statements from your configuration:
--8<--
set httpd port 2812
   use address ec2-yyy-yyy-yyy-yyy.compute-1.amazonaws.com
   allow localhost             # note: this has no effect, as the httpd in this 
case listens only on public interface ('use address ec2…')
   allow xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   allow admin:password

set httpd port 2812 and
   use address localhost # only accept connection from localhost
   allow localhost
   allow xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  # note: this has no effect, as the httpd in this case 
listens only on loopback interface ('use address localhost') => no access from 
public address is possible
   allow monit_admin:monit_password      # require user 'admin' with password 
'monit'
--8<--


with this:
--8<--
set httpd port 2812 and
   allow localhost
   allow xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   allow monit_admin:monit_password 
--8<--

=> it allows access from localhost + xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (and requires correct 
username+password too)

Regards,
Martin
