Using Monit to monitor Nagios and Puppet

Moint is the simplest of the bunch to configure; make sure you set daemon "some number of seconds" and it usually runs.

To monitor Nagios (nrpe)
check process nrpe
  with pidfile /var/run/nrpe.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/nrpe start"
  stop program = "/etc/init.d/nrpe stop"
  if failed port 5666 then restart
  mode active


To Monitor Puppet"
check process puppetd
  with pidfile /var/run/puppet/puppetd.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/puppet start"
  stop program = "/etc/init.d/puppet stop"
  mode active

Next Time I will explain how to get Puppet to monitor Nagios and Monit.
