M/Monit 3.0 Status
by Jan-Henrik Haukeland 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hi all It has been a while since the last release of M/Monit and I wanted to give you a status update about our work on the next version of M/Monit. We had planned to release M/Monit 3.0 this December, but we still need a little more time. The reason is that we decided (a little late in the project) that we wanted to add full responsive design to the user interface. Implementing a responsive design requires a lot of user interface changes and that's were we are at now. A responsive design means that M/Monit will work as a web-app on mobile devices. The screen shot below demonstrate the concept by showing the same page in a Browser and on a mobile phone. Having the same app across all devices, lets us focus on implementing the best functionality. It also means that you can use the full power of M/Monit on your mobile device. By the way, the red line in the chart is a trend line, which we think will be useful, for instance to predict when it is time to invest in new HW. The Plan * We plan to release a beta version of M/Monit in January. The beta version will run for about a month and then we'll release M/Monit 3.0. I'll let you know on this mailing list as soon as the beta is available * If you already have bought a license for M/Monit 2.x this license will continue to work with M/Monit 3.0. * To be able to release sooner we have scoped out "agent-less" monitoring. If all goes well we plan to add this during the beta phase, otherwise it will be added in the next point release. Agent-less monitoring means that you can use M/Monit without requiring Monit. M/Monit will include the ability to check network service and also MySQL and Postgress databases. You should for instance be able to write custom SQL queries and monitoring them. Best regards -- Jan-Henrik Haukeland

[Announce] Monit 5.4
by M/Monit support 06 May '12

06 May '12

Hi, everyone! We have just released Monit 5.4. You can download the new release from: http://mmonit.com/monit/download/ Release information: ==================== IMPROVEMENTS: * New process uptime test added. Allows to do some action in the case that the process uptime matches the given limit. For example to restart the process once per 3 days: if uptime > 3 days then restart * Linux uCLibc support: use internal getloadavg implementation in the case that the system libc doesn't implement it. BUGFIXES: * The monit hostname will fallback to plain machine's hostname if the lookup for FQDN hostname didn't found matching entry. The problem was, that based on the order in the /etc/hosts the FQDN lookup returned sometimes 'localhost' instead of the FQDN hostname. * The CPU usage for multi-threaded processes on multi-core machine was reported incorrectly in the case that the process used more CPU resources then equivalent to one core. Thanks to Tom Pepper for patch. * The content match test now sends one event per cycle and pattern. Even if there are multiple lines matching the same pattern, only one event will be generated. Also the event rate is fixed now, so it is possible to require match for X cycles before generating the event. * The /proc/ files content match test was skipped, as the file size on the procfs is 0, so monit supposed that there is no content to read. * FreeBSD: If the monitored process had children with multiple threads, the total memory usage was reported incorrectly. Thanks to Phil Kulin for reporting the problem. * Allow reading status and perform Monit actions when using client SSL certificate. Previously, if Monit http server was setup to use ssl and a client cert, status and action failed. Thanks to Markus Linnala for initial patch. * When the process is starting/stopping, do the process state check more effectively to not stress the low power devices with aggresive polling. Thanks to Thomas Petazzoni for initial patch. * Make the process start/stop wait resistant to large time changes. * Compilation: If PAM is enabled but the PAM headers or library are not found by the configure script, it will report error. * Cross-compilation: the configure checks the setjmp and vsnprintf with test program which usually cannot be executed when cross-compiling for other architecture. The configure script now takes the following arguments which allow to specify whether the setjmp works on this platform and whether the vsnprintf is C99 compliant. Thanks to Thomas Petazzoni for patch. ./configure \ libmonit_cv_setjmp_available=[yes|no] \ libmonit_cv_vsnprintf_c99_conformant=[yes|no] * Manual page language fixes. Thanks to Jonathan Boulle for patch. Contact: ======== If you have questions, comments or any other feedback about this release, please reply to this post. Best regards from the Monit team

[Announce] Monit 5.3.2

20 Dec '11

Hi, everyone! We have just released Monit 5.3.2. You can download the new release from: http://mmonit.com/monit/download/ Release information: ==================== BUGFIXES: * Fix bug #34801: The file content match test did reset of the read position in the case that the unmonitor or stop action was done. When the file monitoring was enabled again, the content match test was applied to the content which was tested already. * Log error details in the case that the name resolving failed. * Fix the system cpu usage statistics when pattern based process check is used and the service is restarted. Thanks to Wayne Lawrence for report. * AIX 6.1 compile fix. Thanks to Benedikt Wegmann for patch. * Debian Bug#652715: "include files not found" warning. Do not display the warning if the include directory is empty. Contact: ======== If you have questions, comments or any other feedback about this release, please reply to this post.

[Announce] Monit 5.3.1
by Martin Pala 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Hi, everyone! We have just released Monit 5.3.1. You can download the new release from: http://mmonit.com/monit/download/ Release information: ==================== IMPROVEMENTS: * Log the particular connection attempt failure in debug mode when the retry is enabled. * Monit can deliver events and status to independent M/Monit instances if multiple mmonit URLs are set: set mmonit https://user1:pass1@mmonit1/collector https://user2:pass2@mmonit2/collector BUGFIXES: * The ICMP echo (ping) test may report false positive error if the machine where Monit is running has heavy ICMP traffic generated by other applications. * The file content match test will be performed even on the existing content when Monit starts. The last position is saved to the statefile, so monit won't generate alert after restart. Note that when you start the monit 5.3.1 the first time, it can do actions for content match which was handled by previous monit version already as the previous monit versions didn't saved the position. * Make the monitoring state persistent for manual mode services. * Display the memory usage total % in the status overview. The memory usage in kB displayed the total already, so the percentage didn't match. * Fix the HTML overview page alignment in the Internet Explorer. Thanks to Darhl Thomason for patch. * Extend the SSL library search path for Debian Sid. * Fix Solaris 10 compilation and Sun Studio support. * Fix sporadic SSL routines:func(169):reason(161) errors * If MySQL protocol test failed, report the correct MySQL error code. Thanks to Vitaly Lipatov for patch. Contact: ======== If you have questions, comments or any other feedback about this release, please reply to this post. Best regards from the Monit team

[Announce] M/Monit 2.3.4
by Jan-Henrik Haukeland 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hi, everyone! We have just released M/Monit 2.3.4. You can download the new release from: http://mmonit.com/download/ Release information: ==================== Improvements * The IP-address of Monit is now automatically set based on the address reported by Monit. M/Monit previously set the address based on the connection made by Monit and updated the IP-address only once when the host is new. If a proxy was setup in front of M/Monit this address would be of the proxy and not of the Monit host. By making Monit report its IP-address instead , the address should always be correct and current since Monit reports the address at connection time. Because the Monit IP-address is now automatically set by Monit, users can no longer change this address manually. If you need to specify another outbound address for Monit, click the "Override IP-address and port " link in admin/hosts/edit page and specify the Monit address and port number in the "Outbound IP-address for Monit" and "Outbound Port for Monit" fields respectively. * Users can now enter a DNS hostname in Monit's outbound IP-address field and the name will be resolved when M/Monit connects to Monit. Bug fixes * Fixed a crash which could happen when processing message from Monit. Upgrading from previous M/Monit versions: ========================================= Please perform the following to upgrade from the previous version: /upgrade/upgrade-2.3.x-2.3.4.sh -t [sqlite|mysql|postresql] Upgrading from older versions: ./upgrade/upgrade-2.1.x-2.3.4.sh -t [sqlite|mysql|postresql] or ./upgrade/upgrade-2.2.x-2.3.4.sh -t [sqlite|mysql|postresql] Contact: ======== If you have questions, comments or any other feedback about this release, please contact us at info(a)mmonit.com Best regards from the M/Monit team

[Announce] M/Monit 2.3.3
by Jan-Henrik Haukeland 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Hello, everyone! We have just released M/Monit 2.3.3 You can download the new release from: http://mmonit.com/download/ Release information: ==================== Improvements * Changed user's default refresh settings for charts and tables from 1 minute to 5 seconds so monit status changes and new events reload faster in the GUI. * Improved SQLite thread-locking strategy Bug fixes * The descriptive hostname is only updated once for new hosts so it can be overridden by admin later. In previous versions, M/Monit continued to updated and overwrite the hostname based on the DNS name of the host. * If Monit's id file is empty for some reason, M/Monit reported that Monit is older than the required version, even if the version was OK. The id attribute was moved in Monit 5.2 and if M/Monit did not find the id element, it assumed that the Monit version was too old. The error message has been fixed to describe the problem correctly. * Fixed a problem if two hosts had the same hostname a JSON error occurred when adding a new alert rule. Upgrading from previous M/Monit versions: ========================================= Please perform the following to upgrade from the previous version: /upgrade/upgrade-2.3.x-2.3.3.sh -t [sqlite|mysql|postresql] Upgrading from older versions: ./upgrade/upgrade-2.1.x-2.3.3.sh -t [sqlite|mysql|postresql] or ./upgrade/upgrade-2.2.x-2.3.3.sh -t [sqlite|mysql|postresql] Contact: ======== If you have questions, comments or any other feedback about this release, please contact us at info(a)mmonit.com Best regards from the M/Monit team

Bugfix: Events detail style
by Jan-Henrik Haukeland 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Hi Please copy the attached files to docroot/status/ to replace the old index.csp and detail.csp to fix a problem where the events detailed page is not properly styled. Problem description: -------------------- Thanks to Jody Clements we have discovered a small problem when clicking on the events link from the status or from the status detail page. After clicking the events link and then trying to view events detail, the events detail page is not properly styled and looks like this: This problem is caused by an extra 'list' in the URL path which cause the URL path level to be off and thereby causing the page CSS to no load properly. That extra 'list' should not be part of the URL and the URL should be: /reports/events/?Events_Host(..) instead of /reports/events/list?Events_Host(..). Copying the attached template files to docroot/status will fix this problem. Best regards -- Jan-Henrik Haukeland http://tildeslash.com/ ☏: +47 97141255
