chef-monit Build Status

Description

Installs the monit package from (http://mmonit.com/monit/).

Requirements

Supported Platforms

The following platforms are supported by this cookbook, meaning that the recipes run on these platforms without error:

  • Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04
  • Debian 7.8, 8.0
  • RedHat
  • CentOS 6.6, 7.1
  • Scientific
  • Fedora 21
  • SUSE
  • Amazon

Recipes

  • monit - The default recipe. Sets up the service definition and default checks.

Resources

monit_monitrc

The following will create a monitrc configuration:

monit_monitrc "ssh" do
  variables({ category: "system" })
end

The name parameter must match a file located in your templates directory. In the example above, this would be ssh.monitrc.erb.

The variables option within the block is optional, and can contain a list of key-value pairs to assign within your template.

Usage

This cookbook installs the monit components if not present, and pulls updates if they are installed on the system.
