[monit] Monitoring ?

[Jack S]

Hello All,

I have been using monit for a couple of weeks now, and like it,
however I'm getting way too many notifications.
Can someone please tell me how I can reduce the notifications based on
the following:

1. If a services fails, can I control how long it waits before it
considers it failed? example if the process is down for 20 seconds,
thats ok but maybe if it times out for 1 minute then go into action
and do whatever else is listed like restart.

2. If a service is restarted and the PID changes, BUT the service is
still running don't tell me that the PID changed.  example: we time
sync all the servers nightly which causes NTPD to get restarted and
the PID changes.


Any help appreciated!!

Also is there any more detailed documentation and example configs
besides whats on the site?  like a configuration repository or
something?
