Hello,
I have installed monit and everything is running great, except httpd and sshd. My monitoring code is as below. The monitoring starts well when I start Monit for the first time. However if I restart or stop this from the web based control of Monit, I get "Execution failed" message. ## HTTPD monit config check process apache with pidfile /usr/local/apache/logs/httpd.pid group apache start program = "/etc/init.d/httpd start" stop program = "/etc/init.d/httpd -k stop" if failed host localhost port 80 protocol http then alert if failed host localhost port 80 protocol http then restart if cpu > 60% for 2 cycles then alert if cpu > 80% for 5 cycles then restart if children > 250 then restart ## SSHD monit config check process sshd with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid start program "/etc/init.d/sshd start" stop program "/etc/init.d/sshd stop" if failed port 2511 protocol ssh then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout My log files also do not give clear details about this error.

You can also limit the access to specific IP addresses (in addition to username/password) for example like this: "allow 1.2.3.4" On Oct 30, 2011, at 10:43 PM, Harish Chouhan wrote: Hello Martin, Thank you for that. It works now. Just one question, is this safe? Or there any other way for me to access this without allowing other users to even see the login page?

If you want to access it from other hosts, remove this option. Regards, Martin On Oct 30, 2011, at 5:09 PM, Harish Chouhan wrote: I am unable to open it yet from a web browser. I get a not found error. I have even tried to add the 2812 port in the allow list of my ConfigServer Firewall, but yet no luck. The details in my monitrc file are: set httpd port 2812 and use address localhost # only accept connection from localhost allow localhost # allow localhost to connect to the server and allow admin:monit # require user 'admin' with password 'monit' allow @monit # allow users of group 'monit' to connect (rw) allow @users readonly # allow users of group 'users' to connect readonly Can anyone help with this.
