Hello all,
A thread storage problem was found in the just released 2.1 version
which could lead M/Monit to grow out of available virtual memory.
Upgrading to 2.1.1 is strongly recommended. We are sorry for the
inconvenience.
The new 2.1.1 release can be downloaded from http://mmonit.com/download/
Release information:
====================
IMPROVEMENTS:
* In admin/hosts, if an outbound IP-address was
specified for Monit, display this address in
the hosts table.
* Allow non-fully qualified domain for jabber users.
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed a thread storage problem that caused M/Monit
virtual memory usage to grow during event processing.
This in turn could lead M/Monit to grow out of available
virtual memory and to a full stop. Many thanks to Asim
for the bug report.
UPGRADING:
There are no database changes in this release
1) Using a proxy in front of M/Monit and having problems reaching
Monit from M/Monit?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In difference to the previous M/Monit 2.0.3 version, the host IP-
address is continuously updated to reflect real values. M/Monit takes
the IP-address of the connection from Monit and use that as the
address of the Host.
For example, if you have setup an Apache Proxy in front of M/Monit and
setup M/Monit to listen on the loop-back interface (127.0.0.1), M/
Monit will see the IP-address of Monit as 127.0.0.1.
Using a proxy in front of M/Monit is fine, but since the IP-address is
now updated each time Monit reports in, changing the Monit IP-address
in "Monit Host specification" will not stick.
Here is the solution to make M/Monit able to reach Monit again. Go to
admin/hosts and edit the Host in question. Click on the "Firewall/NAT/
Proxy" link and specify the outbound IP-address and port for Monit,
that would be the IP-address Monit is really running on. Click the
"Test connection to Monit" link to see if it works and that M/Monit
can now reach Monit. This screenshot indicate how it may look on your
system:
This solution will also fix any problems you might have had with the M/
Monit iPhone app not being able to connect.
