Re: [monit] Newbee question: alert mail is sent only once

Hi,
Monit sends alert email on state change only by default in order to not flood mailbox if the service is down.
You can enable alert repetition using "reminder" option, for example to get alert every failed cycle: 

  set alert address@hidden with reminder on 1 cycle

See manual for details:

Hi,

I am using monit to check a connection on a tcp port.
I started monit in -v verbose mode to see what it is doing.
It is finding that one of the services is down and is also loggin that, but besides the start up alert mail it does not send me any more mails that the service is down. 

The logfile:

[CET Nov  6 14:34:12] info     : Starting monit daemon

My monit.conf:

set daemon 60
#
#
## Set syslog logging with the 'daemon' facility. If the FACILITY option is ## omited, monit will use 'user' facility by default. You can specify the 
## path to the file for monit native logging.
#
# set logfile syslog facility log_daemon
#
#
## Set list of mailservers for alert delivery. Multiple servers may be
## specified using comma separator. By default monit uses port 25 - it is 
## possible to override it with the PORT option.
#
set mail-format {
   from: address@hidden
   subject: STAGING BCM Siteminder monitoring alert -- $EVENT
   message:

   Info.nl Monitoring discovered:
Er is een Siteminder connectie probleem of de service is weer zo juist opgekomen 
   Action: $ACTION

## You can set the alert recipients here, which will receive the alert for

set alert address@hidden
check host siteminder_staging_1_bij_ordina with address 195.18.110.83 
   if failed port 44441 type tcp with timeout 15 seconds then alert
check host siteminder_staging_2_bij_ordina with address 195.18.110.84 
   if failed port 44441 type tcp with timeout 15 seconds then alert
Does anyone know what could be wrong and the alerts are not being sent every 60 sec? 

Kind regards,

Michiel
