mon is a tool for monitoring the availability of services, and sending alerts on prescribed events. Services are defined as anything tested by a "monitor" program, which can be something as simple as pinging a system, or as complex as analyzing the results of an application-level transaction. Alerts are actions such as sending emails, making submissions to ticketing systems, or triggering resource fail-over in a high-availability cluster. ok jasper@

mon is a tool for monitoring the availability of services and sending alerts
|
|
on prescribed events.
|
|
|
|
This is a small howto to get mon running in a basic setup.
|
|
|
|
1. Edit ${SYSCONFDIR}/mon/mon.cf to fit your needs.
|
|
|
|
2. You may need additional perl modules in order to use some monitors.
|
|
Check your monitor file with perl -c.
|
|
Example: perl -c ${TRUEPREFIX}/lib/mon/mon.d/dns.monitor
|
|
|
|
3. Launch mon in debug mode:
|
|
su -l _mon -c "${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/mon -c /etc/mon/mon.cf -d -P /var/run/mon.pid"
|
|
|
|
4. When everything is ok, launch mon as a daemon:
|
|
su -l _mon -c "${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/mon -c /etc/mon/mon.cf -f -P /var/run/mon.pid"
|
|
|
|
5. Add the following to your /etc/rc.local:
|
|
if [ -x ${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/mon ] ; then
|
|
su -l _mon -c "${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/mon -c /etc/mon/mon.cf -f -P /var/run/mon.pid"
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
|
|
Random hints:
|
|
|
|
* To use fping.monitor you must install fping.
|
|
|
|
* If you need a graphical interface, please install mon-client which contains
|
|
a simple cgi.
