Version 5.8
New: Monit no longer purge the environment for sub-processes
New: Add command line option to view Monit ID (-i/--id)
New: Add command line option to reset Monit ID (-r/--resetid)
New: Add client support for using TLS version 1.1 and 1.2. A recent
1.x version of OpenSSL is required and of course that the server
speaks this TLS version. At this time, not many does. Example:
if failed port 443 with type TCPSSL tlsv11 protocol http then alert
New: Process UID, EUID and GID tests. Allows to test if the
process is running as a given user. Example:
check process syslog with pidfile /var/run/rsyslogd.pid
if failed uid "syslog" then alert
if failed euid "syslog" then alert
if failed gid "syslog" then alert
New: Add WebSocket protocol test support for port check. Example:
check host websocket.org with address "echo.websocket.org"
if failed
port 80 protocol websocket
host "echo.websocket.org"
request "/"
origin "http://www.websocket.com"
version 13
then alert
New: Simplified HTTP protocol test to allow testing content without
creating an URL object. It is now possible to say in a more natural way,
check host mmonit.com with address mmonit.com
if failed
port 80 protocol http
and request /monit/ with content = "Monit 5.7"
then alert
meaning that if the page mmonit.com/monit does not contain the text
"Monit 5.7" then the test will fail. To reverse the test, i.e. to test
that the page should not contain a specific string simply use '!='
instead, like,
if failed
port 80 protocol http
with content != "Nagios"
then alert
Remember also that the string to test can be a regular expression
New: The HTTP protocol test now support testing the HTTP status code
returned by the server by using "status <operator> <number>".
Backward compatible defaults (return error if status >= 400):
if failed
port 80 protocol http
and status < 400
then alert
Return error if a page DOES exist (for success 404 is expected):
if failed
port 80 protocol http
request "/non/existent.php"
status = 404
then alert
Fixed: Unix Socket test now use the communication type (TCP or UDP)
specified in port statement. Previously TCP was always used.
Fixed: Improved test to check if a socket was connected. Since we use
non-blocking connect, we now poll a few ms to avoid "connection failed,
XXX is not ready for i|o" errors which could occur, especially on high
latency networks or long distance connect.
Fixed: Simplified if-statements reported in UI
Fixed: Ignore lines starting with '#' in an 'allow htpasswd' file
statement. Thanks to Michael Bakker for reporting the issue
Fixed: Show service restart program on Monit startup in debug mode.
Thanks to Michael Bakker for reporting the issue
Version 5.7
New: Merged https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/pull-request/1/
from Philippe Kueck:
1) Handle sockets (unix domain) as regular files when checking timestamp.
2) Use mysql 4.1 protocol in MySQL check, required for checking mysql-proxy
3) Skip connection checks during startup timeout.
New: Arguments added to 'check program'. Arguments are whitespace
separated strings. For instance:
check program list-files with path "/bin/ls -l -r -t /tmp"
if status != 0 then alert
New: Implemented restart as an optional service action. When Monit
is called to restart a service, it previously called the stop
program registered with the service and then the start program.
Now, if a restart program is registred with the service, this
will be called instead, otherwise Monit fall back to its old
behaviour. Example:
check process apache with pidfile /var/run/httpd.pid
start = "/usr/sbin/apachectl start"
stop = "/usr/sbin/apachectl stop"
restart = "/usr/sbin/apachectl restart" <- New
New: Improved communication with M/Monit. Thanks to Hippo Lin. For
scalability purpose, this Monit version should only be used with
M/Monit version 3.1 or later.
BUGFIXES:
* Monit stopped if an error occurred during MTA connection close.
* Make the Memcache protocol test faster.
* Solaris zone: fix system memory usage report.
* Use chiper list with SSL server instead of relying on default
