Package: monit Version: 1:4.10.1-4 Severity: wishlist Currently, the daemon poll interval is specified in the "/etc/default/monit" file using the "CHECK_INTERVALS=" variable. This variable is passed to the daemon in the "/etc/init.d/monit" init script as the "-d n" parameter, where n is the value of "CHECK_INTERVALS".
As per Monit's documentation, "Daemon Mode" section: // QUOTE It is strongly recommended to set the poll interval in your ~/.monitrc file instead, by using set daemon n, where n is an integer number of seconds. If you do this, Monit will always start in daemon mode (as long as no action arguments are given). Example (check every 5 minutes): set daemon 300 // UNQUOTE This is of particular interest, given that additional daemon poll interval parameters can be specified. Example: set daemon 300 with start delay 60 This delays the initial poll by 60 seconds, which can avoid possible conflicts with monitored services that have not yet been ininitialized or started during boot time. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-7-pve (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages monit depends on: ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-15+lenny1 SSL shared libraries monit recommends no packages. monit suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
