Hello, I asked an ISPConfig specialist to install Munin and Monit. Unfortunately, he used a simple script without even checking the proper functioning of the installation. Munim is correctly installed, but not Monit. Monit does not appear in the ISPConfig menu. The setting is the same as for Munim in System/Server config/Server. /etc/monit/monitrc on the other hand indicates a port 2812. Code: set daemon 60 set logfile syslog facility log_daemon set mailserver localhost set mail-format { from: [email protected] } set alert root@localhost set httpd port 2812 and SSL ENABLE PEMFILE /var/certs/monit.pem allow admin:howtoforge check process sshd with pidfile /var/run/sshd.pid start program "/usr/sbin/service ssh start" stop program "/usr/sbin/service ssh stop" if failed port 22 protocol ssh then restart if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout check process apache with pidfile /var/run/apache2/apache2.pid group www start program = "/usr/sbin/service apache2 start" stop program = "/usr/sbin/service apache2 stop" if failed host localhost port 80 protocol http and request "/monit/token" then restart if cpu is greater than 60% for 2 cycles then alert if cpu > 80% for 5 cycles then restart if totalmem > 500 MB for 5 cycles then restart if children > 250 then restart if loadavg(5min) greater than 10 for 8 cycles then stop if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout In command line, it seems Monit seems very present. How to fix the provider's inadequacies to see Monit in the ISPConfig menu? Thank you for your help.
More accurately, the option to display Monit does show in the ISPConfig menu; it appears that the monit url in your server config does not work, which is the real issue. As for why, you'd need to check your nginx config.
I thought that was a known but unfixed issue and is not anybody's fault. You may want to check the forum for related discussions. I find it kinda hard to search using my mobile phone. Edited: @nhybgtvfr could be right though.
Thank you to all of you. It seems that the provider used the tutorial of Debian 8. There were many mistakes. According to the file /etc/monit/monitrc it was necessary to indicate the user admin and the password howtoforge. The path should be: https://[SERVERNAME]:2812 Of course, it was also necessary to restart Monit. Here is the result. systemctl list 131 services. What are the interesting services to add?
well, the obvious start points for monitoring: cpu load memory usage disk space then depending on what your using: apache/nginx mysql amavisd-new/rspamd postfix dovecot/courier redis/memcached php# php#-fpm pureftpd ntpd ( a lot of people won't consider this necessary, but in a multi-server environment, it's very helpful to be confident that all the timestamps across all the servers match up correctly ) i'm sure other people will supply a few more services to keep an eye on. the important thing is to watch the services you rely on. don't just monitor everything you can just because you can, you'll get fed up with unnecessary alerts and start ignoring them, then an important alert will come through.....
one other thing, in your monitrc file ( and the ispconfig server config page ), if you haven't already, change the admin username and password for monit. you don't want to leave the defaults there, especially if the port is accessible externally. having some stranger restart ( or even worse, unmonitor then stop ) random services can really ruin your day....
