You may not have monit running as a service. Check the current status of monit:<br> monit status<br>It will tell you if it is running.<br>If it is not start it with:<br> /etc/init.d/monit start<br>I primarily use centos and fedora but I think that will work with debian systems too.<br>
I think that the default config does not have the daemon set to listen for communication. It needs this for commands like "monit status" and "monit monitor opensips" and "monit unmonitor opensips"<br>
something like this:<br> set httpd port 2812 and<br> use address localhost # only accept connection from localhost<br> allow localhost<br>Also you don't want to use the same call to the init.d script that is used to start it up regularly otherwise you get a loop going or at least double notify of (un)monitor actions.<br>
What I do for the opensips portion of the monit config is have it call /etc/init.d/opensips monit_start.<br>Then in /etc/init.d/opensips I have it catch that arg and not tell monit to monitor but call the regular start function. When it gets the regular start arg it calls the regular start function and then tells monit to start monitoring it.<br>
Also when the init.d script gets a restart command I don't update monit It checks the pid file itself and realizes that the pid has changed and sends a message to that affect rather then two messages, one that it us unmonitoring and one that it is monitoring.<br>
I've attached the /etc/init.d/opensips that I'm currently using.<br><br>Don't forget to make sure that the monit daemon will start on next reboot.<br><br>The attached init.d/opensips script uses some of redhats conventions for displaying success/failure and adjust the working directory according to your install. But I think overall it should be fairly portable to other distros.<br>
<br>Note. Many of the options I pass to opensips are usually set in the script. For the passed options to work they can not be set in opensips.cfg.<br>You may also notice that for a restart it validates the config before allowing a restart. It does two levels of checks, the opensips -C to verify the syntax of the config and actually starts a minimal opensips because sometimes there are things that will make it not work even when the syntax checks out.<br>
The test run listens on lo:2056 so beware incase of conflicts. YMMV<br><br>Hope that helps.<br><br>Dave<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 1:41 AM, Deon Vermeulen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vermeulen.deon@gmail.com">vermeulen.deon@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
