Re: feature request "after n cycles"

[Martin Pala]

There is framework for method timeout in monit already ... currently  
the timeout for start/stop/restart/exec methods is one monit's cycle.

The idea is, that you will be able to specify how long the method can  
take before the monitoring should be enabled. Example syntax:

--8<--
check process httpd with path /var/run/httpd/pid
  if failed port 80 protocol http then restart with timeout 3 cycles
--8<--

=> in the case that the connection failed monit will restart the  
httpd and wait up to three monit's cycles for recovery (currently if  
the process is not available on next cycle and 'every' statement is  
not used then the check will fail again).
