Monit CLI is using the monit http to request the action. Is it using the 
same monitrc (configuration file) as the monit daemon? You can run both 
- monit daemon and CLI in verbose monde, using -v option and check 
output and logs.

You can use sniffer to check the traffic between monit CLI and daemon 
(tracing localhost:28212 should be sufficient) and check for reset/rejects.

You can also try to connect to localhost:28212 for example using telnet 
and check if the connection works.
