  1. and then my DNS failed again 😭
    But this time it was my upstream non-HA unbound on opnsense that just terminated.
    unbound is serving my local dhcp entries and some magic.. those are not replicated to the backup system :(

    monit to the rescue! it will (re)start unbound no in case of failure.

    #dns #dnsmasq #monit #opnsense #ha #unbound

  3. 😈 Jailrun is moving fast!

    Our open-source project for orchestrating FreeBSD jails has just received a major update.

    The latest version brings the kind of modern CLI experience you’d expect in 2026 — interactive shell, command autocomplete, and a polished look and feel.

    Check it out 👉 github.com/hyphatech/jailrun

    Thanks to the @FreeBSDFoundation for supporting the continued development of FreeBSD, and to the maintainers of #bastilleBSD, #ansible, #qemu, and #monit for the wonderful tools.

  4. (ノ-_-)ノ ミ ┴┴

    I just spent a week trying to figure out why #monit wasn't getting started by the init, but would run just fine from the command line.

    The only hint I had was:
    Dec 29 09:55:56 [init] Error detected in /etc/inittab at line 66. Possibly too long.

    The inittab suddenly needed a final empty line. A line 67 with nothing in it.

  6. Спокойствие админа: автоматический мониторинг и Telegram-уведомления с Monit

    Мониторинг процессов на сервере — ключевой элемент для безопасности и стабильности работы всей системы. Даже если на сервере всего несколько процессов, бывает очень критично вовремя узнавать об их сбоях и недоступности, чтобы своевременно восстановить доступ. Для автоматического отслеживания удобно использовать специализированный под эти задачи сервис, такой как Monit — лёгкий, но при этом мощный инструмент, позволяющий не только отслеживать работу процессов (например, nginx , apache , mysql , postgres , redis , node , java) и перезапускать их автоматически, но и направлять уведомления об этом (например, в Telegram).

  7. Et depuis 2 ans, j’ai donc intégré #monit dans les TP.

    Un peu austère comme première approche, mais je trouve intéressant de leur montrer qu’un si petit outil peut en fait répondre à pas mal de problématiques différentes. Hier encore, j’ai eu pas mal de retours étonnés et intéressés :blobPikaUvU:

  8. Après une première journée de cours (réflexions en groupes, problématiques de gestion d’inventaires, quelques protocoles standards comme SNMP/WMI/IPMI, présentation de quelques classiques comme Nagios/Centreon/etc) et de TP (mise en place de l’environnement et découverte de #monit ), aujourd’hui on enchaîne sur d’autres protocoles et outils plutôt orientés métriques, puis cet après-midi on fera du #UptimeKuma et de l’automatisation !

  10. @bjoern Ich nutze #munin für die zeitliche Auswertung und #monit für Benachrichtigungen mit #ntfy Ist beides recht einfach aufgesetzt. #monit nutze ich auch um Anwendungen mal neu zu starten wenn die zu viel RAM brauchen oder hängen sollten.

  12. Software that just works: #monit has been running for years, only sending me messages when something has triggered. I had forgotten it uses #postfix to deliver mail. I didn't know I had a mail server anymore :-). #Apache2 needed a restart after 8 years or so (haven't checked, maybe it is just 5), there was a memory leak somewhere.

  14. #Linux #système #Monit
    Voici quelques exemple de config Monit que j'ai mise en place pour mon NAS:
    - surveillance espace disque
    - alertes SMART
    - alertes changement d'IP publiques/privées
    - alerte disponibilité service web.
    - alertes expiration prochaine d'un certificat
    - alerte sur modification de fichiers de config
    - relance auto de service qui ne répondent plus (apache, jellyfin...)
    - etc.

    (Rien d'extraordinaire, mais ça peut être utile d'avoir des exemples.)

  16. Es geht weiter in meiner Artikelreihe: #FreeBSD als Server.

    Die beiden Themen "S.M.A.R.T Überwachung und Selbsttest" und "Monit Systemüberwachung auch für ZFS Pools" wurden ergänzt.

  19. Since I just had to grep through auth.log, to see if anyone recently logged into any of my systems, I have decided to configure monit to alert me, whenever someone logs in via SSH.

  21. Um mittels monit einen STUN- und TURN-Server automatisch auf Funktion und Erreichbarkeit zu testen, habe ich ein kleines Script geschrieben:

    andersgood.de/kurz-notiert/stu

    #SWEETGOOD #andersGOOD #stun #turn #script #automation #monit

  22. Preparing a modest storage pool and figuring out how to routinely scurb that as well as having automated alerting. I decided to do it on Linux as I need the machine for other tasks and don't want yet another 24/7 machine. already looked at and so far.
    I'll boil the results down at some point, call it the "Truenas experience on Linux" or something.

  23. CW: On monit and Pushover

    I am setting up monitoring on my private network using #monit ¹ and #Pushover ², both of which I like quite a bit.

    Having said this I am obviously not the monit wizard I thought I was because, while my monitoring onto a commercial M/Monit server works perfectly, I am "confused" as to why triggering my script to send to Pushover isn't working "as expected".

    So, this bit of monit code "does not do what I think it should"™:

    check program zpool with path "/usr/local/sbin/monit_zfs-health.sh"
    every 20 cycles
    if status != 0
    then exec "/usr/local/sbin/monit_to_pushover.sh"

    I get the lert³ via email but… nothing on pushover.

    But, big but…

    check system $HOST
    if loadavg (1min) > 5
    then exec "/usr/local/sbin/monit_to_pushover.sh"

    This does tell me the load is over 5 via Pushover.

    :flan_greybeard:​ is very confused :flan_despair:​

  25. #monit ist für remote Abfragen sehr gut.
    Aber wenn ich die Kombination aus Agents & einsammelndem Server möchte, wirds mit M/Monit schnell teuer. :-(

  26. Mir wurde gerade #monit ( mmonit.com/monit/ ) empfohlen.
    Das hatte ich bisher nicht auf dem Schirm, weil Wikipedia es nicht als Monitoring Tool unter en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparis erwähnt.

  27. HI EVERYONE! The thing that is supposed to make sure that things don’t stop working failed to make sure that those thing didn’t stop working.
    As a result of this there was downtime last night and I am very unhappy with the thing that is supposed to make sure other things don’t stop working.
    If there are any hotshot #Monit experts out there who could help out I’d be very grateful

  30. I spent the afternoon building a server using my old Jetway passively cooled mini PC with Ubuntu 20.04. It was taking over Unifi Controller duties from my NAS. It is now also running Roundcube so that I can use webmail instead of Microsoft Outlook. I have Cacti and Monit running on the box too. Nothing like some Friday building for fun!

  31. Mal #Monit als Monitoring für meinen #Homeserver installiert. Macht einen guten Eindruck und scheint genau das zu bringen, was ich brauche 👍

    Interested as well. and are probably to heavy for a ?
