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.
