Send monit alert to log file instead of email

Question

I am using monit for several processes. But I do not want to sent an email when there is an issue, whereas I need it to log it to a file.

Can this be done?

Current process config:

check process nginx with pidfile /var/run/nginx.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/nginx start"
  stop program = "/etc/init.d/nginx stop"

That just disables the alerts. That doesn't cover the ability to log to a file. – jshthornton Nov 25 '15 at 02:40
Look in `/var/log/monit` and `/var/log/messages` – ewwhite Nov 25 '15 at 02:41
I have neither :/ – jshthornton Nov 25 '15 at 02:59
@jshthornton Then please add pertinent details like: operating system and version, version of Monit, etc. – ewwhite Nov 25 '15 at 02:59
Updated to give some more details. – jshthornton Nov 25 '15 at 03:01
