Re: [monit] state and id files

[Martin Pala]

The problem is, that the statefile and idfile are placed in the event  
queue  directory. The error message is emitted when Monit tries to  
process content of event queue ... it opens each file in that  
directory and if it's not valid stored event, it reports error, skips  
this file and continues with another entries.

=> the error is non-critical - Monit works correctly including idfile  
and statefile ... in order to stop the error messages just set the  
idfile and statefile location to different directory and (re)move the  
old files.
