Re: Monit : unmonitor during logrotate

Hi,

Solution from Tino Hendricks is the recommended one I would say.

As alternative, you could also not check it, while it is restarted due to
rotation  (here down for rotation between 03:00 a.m. and 03:03 a.m) using
"not every syntax"

check process mysqld with pidfile /var/run/mysqld.pid
       not every "0-3 3 * * *"

or warn later on with the "for N cycles" syntax.

Best Regards.
