Re: [monit] Monitor timestamp only and not existence of file

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

you can set mail filter to suppress existence alert:

alert address@hidden but not on { nonexist }

See manual for more details: 

http://www.mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#setting_a_local_alert_statement

Note: the "not" option requires monit-5.x

Regards,

Martin

Hello,


I'd like to monitor the timestamp of a file and execute my command when
the file is 'old'. But I don't want to be alerted if the file exists nor
if the the file doesn't exist.
That is, I want to be alerted ONLY if the file exists and is older than
10 mins.

The following works fine with the timestamp but in addition I get
alerted when the file exists and then later that it doesn't exist.

       check file lock path /some/path/lock
               if timestamp > 10 minutes
                   then exec "/some/command"

I tried the following, but it hasn't helped:

       check file lock path /some/path/lock
               start program = "/bin/touch /tmp/1.1"
               if timestamp > 10 minutes
                   then exec "/some/command"

Thanks, Rishad
