Re: monit alert -- Status failed network_resolv

Hi Martin,

Like the OP I am getting an email as well as the script action (which I now understand is as designed).

Is it possible to set up email as a backup/monit error alert?

Usage: I want to suppress emails in lieu of scripts, but if monit fails in executing (script path is not available etc) then an email should be sent with this error.

Or would this require a separate "file" check?

Thank you,

Shak

Hello Viktor,

the 'alert' action is implicit, the alert is send too even if you have 'exec' action => you can simplify the configuration:

original:
  if status != 0 then alert
  if status != 0 then exec "/usr/local/sbin/monit-slack.sh 'https://hooks.slack.com/services...'"

simplified (exec sends alert as well):
  if status != 0 then exec "/usr/local/sbin/monit-slack.sh 'https://hooks.slack.com/services...'"

If you need to suppress the alert completely, you can do it in the service context this way:

         check program network_resolv with path "/usr/local/sbin/server-integrity.sh -c RES -r '3'" every 33 cycles
                if status != 0 then exec "/usr/local/sbin/monit-slack.sh 'https://hooks.slack.com/services...'"
                noalert myuser@mydomain


(we will clean the alert handling in the future - multiple coma separated actions will be possible and custom alert channels will be supported)


Best regards,
Martin
