Monit (man) is a free, open-source process supervision tool for Unix and Linux. Monit can restart a process automatically if process dies or monitor process characteristics, such as memory or cpu cycles and alert or execute and action. Monit only support alert messages by email[1]. Monit support monitoring cpu, memory, swap usage and loadavg among others.
Installation[edit]
- Installation macOS:
brew install monit - Linux:
apt install monit - Access: http://localhost:2812/ (admin/monit)
- Config file:
/etc/monit/monitrc(monit -t) to verify configuration file
set daemon 120By default configured to check services every 120 seconds- Review examples: https://mmonit.com/wiki/Monit/ConfigurationExamples
- Logs:
/var/log/monit.log - Command:
monit status - Restart Monit service:
systemctl restart monit.service && systemctl status monit
Example[edit]
# check system $HOST # if loadavg (1min) per core > 2 for 5 cycles then alert # if loadavg (5min) per core > 1.5 for 10 cycles then alert # if cpu usage > 95% for 10 cycles then alert # if memory usage > 75% then alert # if swap usage > 25% then alert
