I don't think 'unmonitor' would help here. We do need to monitor, but stop if running.
Hi,
you can use "mode manual" for services, which will be started only on request (can be automated):
--8<--
#
# active/passive services cluster
#
check device hafs with path /dev/sdb1
start program = "/etc/ha.d/resource.d/ha-fs start"
stop program = "/etc/ha.d/resource.d/ha-fs stop"
if space usage > 80% then alert
mode manual
group ha
check process postgresql with pidfile /var/run/postgresql.pid
start program = "/etc/init.d/postgresql start"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/postgresql stop"
depends hafs
mode manual
group ha
--8<--
you can then enable the monitoring using "monit -g ha monitor all" and disable it using "monit -g ha unmonitor all"
Regards,
Martin
