After some "big" tweaks of my apache2.conf file I can not get Monit to monitor Apache2 anymore. I know that I need to set the Monit values (/etc/monit/monitrc) accordingly to what it's set in apache2.conf, but here is where I get lost! This is the part that I've changed in apache2.conf Now I need to set the correct values in "/etc/monit/monitrc" The monitrc files looks like this at the moment. Problem is that Monit is giving me a "Connection failed" on Apache with the new apache2.conf settings :/ I think the problem is the "if totalmem > 700 MB for 5 cycles then restart", as when I take this line out, it's working fine. The monit document is saying this about totalmem: If I read the above correct I need to multiple ServerLimit by it's child processes (I guess that this is MaxRequestsPerChild) So.. 512 x 100 = 51200 MB. Wow.. 51200 MB... For sure this is wrong!.. Or.. Did I make a mistake in (1) the apache2.conf (setting MaxRequestsPerChild to 100) or (2) with my calculation for totalmem? Anyone here who's got more info on this?
I've taken out the totalmem line in my monit configuration. I was getting error messages saying that monit doesn't know that option. I guess that Debian's monit package isn't the newst one...
For now I have also removed it, but I would love to get the correct value for it. The monit version I'm using is 4.8.1, and it does take a "totalmem" option.
