Hi all:
In reading the mailing list archives (search for SNMP), Martin Pala
seemed to imply that it was possible to call an external program (such
as snmptrap) from monit, when a state change occurred.
I can see it is possible to call an external program through the EXEC
action; however it does not seem possible to call EXEC, and also take
built in actions such as "restart", or "timeout". Basically I want the
EXEC to replace the alert! I'm using monit 4.3 currently.
Is this a correct read of monit's capabilities?
Is there any round-about way to do what I need?
- I've tried sending alerts to a localhost address, then parse the
message to generate the alert I want; however because monit goes direct
to port 25, I cannot use it (my smtp service may be heavily loaded, and
non-responsive).
- I've considered polling the HTTP server, but I may miss state changes.
- Are all state changes written to the monit log? I suppose I could
write a log monitor! Gack.
Thanks for a very useful tool!
Tom.
