Hi folks,
We've been using monit (latest version) for a while to provide simple process monitoring, with email alerts, and auto re-start capabilities. However, it appears to be more and more unreliable, and has reached the point where it actually isn't fit for purpose. Specifically, on some email filter servers, I have regular clamd failures, and it is neither detecting them, nor re-starting them, whereas it used to.
I've used nagios, but for this simple task, unless it's changed a lot since I last played with it, and become a lot easier to configure, it's a total over-kill.
We run gentoo servers, and don't want to mess with the core system, startup mechanisms and task management stuff.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a simple tool similar to monit?
Cheers, Laurie.
