Installs the monit
package from (http://mmonit.com/monit/).
The following platforms are supported by this cookbook, meaning that the recipes run on these platforms without error:
monit
- The default recipe. Sets up the service definition and default checks.monit_monitrc
The following will create a monitrc configuration:
monit_monitrc "ssh" do
variables({ category: "system" })
end
The name
parameter must match a file located in your templates directory. In the example above, this would be ssh.monitrc.erb
.
The variables
option within the block is optional, and can contain a list of key-value pairs to assign within your template.
This cookbook installs the monit components if not present, and pulls updates if they are installed on the system.
