Re: Ignore Monit's First Alert

[address@hidden]

You can try this:

check host somehost with address somehost.com

start program = "/opt/monit/scripts/somehostcheckport.sh start"

stop program = "/opt/monit/scripts/somehostport.sh stop"

if failed port 80 for 5 cycles then restart # note: will restart the service if down for 5 consecutive cycles, the alert is implicit (send as part of the restart)

alert address@hidden with reminder on 5 cycles

Best regards,

Martin

Use case: Send alert after particular port down 5 times within 5 cycles, otherwise just ignore it. In other word, if particular port down less than 5 times within 5 cycles, don’t send any email.

Reality: Monit sent alert every first port down state.

Question: How to ignore first alert? Should email reminder set on 1 cycles or 5 cycles?

OS: CentOS 7

Monit version 5.14 from e17 epel repository

This is my monit configuration, the script basically contains a nmap command for double checking port status functionality.

if 5 restart within 5 cycles then alert
