Re: no suitable credentials found in monit configuration file

[Martin Pala]

Monit users are independent of M/Monit accounts - if you want to be able to 
perform actions (start/stop/restart/monitor/unmonitor) for Monit services via 
M/Monit, you should add the "allow <username>:<password>" to Monit and set the 
same in M/Monit's Host admin for the given host (if the mentioned allow 
statement is present when Monit registers, it will set it automatically). If 
you don't want to use the actions from M/Monit, you don't need to add 
additional allow statement to Monit if you use for example PAM or IP address 
access control already and if it's sufficient in your environment.

Regards,
Martin
