Re: setting service poll times (maintenance windows)

[Martin Pala]

Hello,

multiple "every" statements per service are not supported currently, as a 
workaround you can enable/disable the service monitoring externally via monit 
CLI, for example add the following to cron:

        0 0 * * * /usr/bin/monit unmonitor myservice
        30 1 * * * /usr/bin/monit monitor myservice

You can also (un)monitor all services:

        monit unmonitor all

or specific service group (using -g option):

        monit -g myservicegroup unmonitor


Regards,
Martin
