Re: Monit load average monitoring

Hi Leonhard, I think this is not a monit specific question or at least can’t be easily answered. As for the calculation for CPU utilization there are tons of explanations on the web, i.e. https://community.tenable.com/s/article/What-is-CPU-Load-Average

Dear list, I’m trying to monitor an USB port. The script „checkUSB.sh“ returns „error“ or „exists“ (successfully tested in Terminal as root). Monit runs as root but with check program checkUSB with path "/usr/local/sbin/checkUSB.sh" if content != "exists" then alert never returns. The pro

Re: Port Status Check Configuration

Rizal, looking at your script I think you mixed up functionality: The check if a network port is open or not is done with the  "if failed port…“ statements. The „start/stop program“ is meant for the case where these checks fail and you tell monit to „restart“. So if you’re not happy with the bui
