Re: Is monit deterministic?

[Lutz Mader]

Hello Leonard,
the "start/stop/restart program" statement is available for all service
checks.

See https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#Service-checks

The actions used by the defined service tests use the internal handled
actions like "alert" and "unmonitor", the script defined by "exec" or
the scripts defined by the "start/stop/restart program" statement, with
"start", "stop" and "restart".

See https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#ACTION

There is no default or build in action/command defined.

You can use something like this,
based on a "restart program" script:
> check system $HOST
>   restart program "/sbin/reboot"
>   if loadavg (15 min) > 4 then restart

Or based on a "exec" script:
> check system $HOST
>   if loadavg (15 min) > 4 then exec "/sbin/reboot"

A suggestion only,
Lutz
