[monit] Restarting Apache from Monit

[Amit Gupta 15]

Hi All,

 

 

I have installed monit in our environment from a user X. And I want to monitor Apache and restart the Apache, if there is no response. Apache is running from root.

 

I have also given sudo access to user X to start apache and written a script like below in monitrc, but it is not able to stop/start apache. I am able to re-start apache from user X without using monitrc.

 

check process apache with pidfile "/opt/apache/logs/httpd.pid"

        start = "/usr/bin/sudo /opt/apache/bin/httpd -k start"

        stop = "/usr/bin/sudo /opt/apache/bin/httpd -k stop"

 

        if failed host <IP-Address> port 80

        protocol http then restart

        if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

 

Any suggestions??

 

Thanks,

Amit
