Re: M/Monit Network Settings

[Guillaume François]

Hello Saagar,

I saw the misunderstanding.

The Monit network setting comes from the configuration of the "remote" Monit agent.

From my understanding, it is use by M/Monit to send "commands" to the remote Monit agent. In the case it cannot successfully connect, commands issued from M/Monit are not executed on the remote Monit agent.

This is only mandatory if you want to perform remote actions from M/Monit console. It doesn't block the collection of data.

If you want to change the connection information, you are able to override it for some data (see screenshot)

​

Does it answer your need ?

Best Regards.

I have the same kind of setup. Here's what I have done:

- Left the connector as it is

-----START server.xml-----

<Connector address="10.0.0.3" port="8090" processors="10" secure="false" />

-----END server.xml-----

- In apache.conf I have proxied it as follows

-----START APACHE CONFIG-----

ProxyPass         /mmonit  http://10.0.0.3:8090 nocanon

ProxyPassReverse  /mmonit http://10.0.0.3:8090

ProxyRequests     Off

AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

# Local reverse proxy authorization override

# Most unix distribution deny proxy by default (ie /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/proxy.conf in Ubuntu)

<Proxy http://10.0.0.3:8090/*>

  Order deny,allow

  Allow from all

</Proxy>

-----END APACHE CONFIG-----

For nginx, it is even simpler

-----START NGINX CONFIG-----

        location /mmonit/ {

                proxy_pass https://10.0.0.3:8090/;

        }

-----END NGINX CONFIG-----

Guillaume -

I took a look at the documentation, and if I understand correctly, this is providing instruction on setting up the connector for m/monit itself.

However, my issue is as follows: I would like to configure the Monit Network Settings for a host in m/monit such that the address is something like foobar.com/monit and the port is left null. Essentially, I would like m/monit to understand that I am using a sub-path without a port so that it can connect to the monit instances (and then be able to run start/stop operations via the m/monit web interface). Whenever I put in a network address such as "foobar.com/monit", m/monit is unable to resolve this into an address. 

I hope this clarifies what I'm trying to accomplish.

Thanks Guillaume, I'll give that a look!

Dear monit-general,

I am setting up m/monit and have configured m/monit and monit behind nginx via proxy_pass. nginx is providing SSL to our other applications and also prevents unnecessary exposure to the ports that m/monit and monit are listening on. 

When the proxy_pass is enabled, all traffic to https://www.foobar.com/monit is directed to monit and all traffic to https://www.foobar.com/mmonit is directed to m/monit . As such, I would like to understand how exactly to configure the network settings for m/monit so that a port is not required. Is this possible? The UI seems to append the port number to the end of the URL in all situations.

Best,

Saagar
