Re: [monit] different monitor params for different daily periods

[Martin Pala]

Currently it is not possible to set time-dependend watermarks. You can define 
two service check entries and enable/disable monitoring from cron like this:

monitrc:
--8<--
 check file mylog-00-04 with path ...
    ...

 check file mylog-04-24 with path ...
    ...
--8<--

crontab:
--8<--
0 0 * * * /usr/bin/monit unmonitor mylog-04-24
0 0 * * * /usr/bin/monit monitor mylog-00-04
0 4 * * * /usr/bin/monit unmonitor mylog-00-04
0 4 * * * /usr/bin/monit monitor mylog-04-24
--8<--

Each service check can have different limits and cron will simply turn off/on 
monitoring at given time.

Regards,
Martin
