I have a hard time getting monit to work on my Ubuntu 18.04.4.
I've installed monit via sudo apt install monit
, then I've enabled httpd
like this:
set httpd port 2812 and
use address localhost
allow localhost
allow admin:monit
This is basically the default configuration of monit. Then I restarted monit via sudo systemctl restart monit
.
If I take a look at its log file at /var/log/monit.log
, I can see that the monit web server should be running:
Starting Monit 5.25.1 daemon with http interface at [localhost]:2812
On the server, I have ufw running, output of sudo ufw status verbose
:
root@v22017062828950292:~# sudo ufw status verbose
Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed)
New profiles: skip
To Action From

2812/tcp ALLOW IN Anywhere

2812/tcp (v6) ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
22/tcp (v6) ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
8080/tcp (v6) ALLOW IN Anywhere (v6)
However, if I execute monit status
, I get:
Monit: the monit HTTP interface is not enabled, please add the 'set httpd' statement and use the 'allow' option to allow monit to connect.
I've tried binding monit to 0.0.0.0
like this:
set httpd port 2812 and
use address 0.0.0.0
allow 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
allow admin:monit
Then I can connect via browser and the IP of my server to the Web Interface, but monit status
still outputs, that the http interface is not enabled.
I'm currently running out of ideas, since with the last configuration I can clearly reach the web interface from my browser but not via the command line interface.
I also tried disabled ufw with sudo ufw disable
, resulting in the same problem, that the CLI can not connect to the web interface.
Do you have any more idea, what could be wrong?
