Monit version: 5.0.3
Server: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
I want to monitor the system cpu usage with Monit and I am trying as follows:
check system host_name if cpu usage (user) > 70% then alert if cpu usage (system) > 30% then alert if cpu usage (wait) > 20% then alert
But when I use this command:
monit -v
The response is:
'host_name' cpu wait usage check succeeded [current cpu wait usage=-1.0%] 'host_name' cpu system usage check succeeded [current cpu system usage=-1.0%] 'host_name' cpu user usage check succeeded [current cpu user usage=-1.0%]
I guess it is not working :) Why do I get this message? The cpu usage is not -1.0% of course, so why do I get this false result?
