I am trying to get an alert from monit if it fails to restart a service 5 times, but I get a syntax error
/etc/monit/monit.d/engine.conf:5: Error: syntax error 'alert'
any idea what's wrong with it?
/etc/monit/monitrc:
set daemon 120
set mailserver localhost
set eventqueue
basedir /var/monit # set the base directory where events will be stored
slots 100 # optionaly limit the queue size
set httpd port 2812
allow localhost
set logfile syslog
set alert root@localhost
include /etc/monit/monit.d/*
/etc/monit/monit.d/engine.conf (The only file in monit.d) :
check process engine with pidfile /var/run/engine.pid
group engine
start program = "/etc/init.d/engine start"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/engine stop"
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then alert
version:
# monit -V
This is monit version 4.10.1
