Hello, monit checks the service in intervals given by the "set daemon <x>" settings. If the interval between checks is long or the check is blocked by some service timeout/action, then the interval can be longer.
Please can you check the "set daemon" settings and run monit in debug mode?: 1.) stop monit 2.) monit -vI Best regards, Martin > On 8 Mar 2019, at 16:49, Fant, Andrew (NIH/NIDA) [E] <andrew.f...@nih.gov> > wrote: > > Good morning. > I have a small monitoring setup with m/monit 3.7.2, using monit 5.25.2 > as the agent.
