Service Monitoring

[Zmjm15]

Hi guys,

Was just wondering if anyone has managed to setup a monitoring service to alert when zoneminder service fails/stops?

Im just installing Monit and wondering how to implement it if anyone knows?


Many thanks

I use the following. Could probably be more robust.

check process zmdc.pl with pidfile /run/zm/zm.pid
if failed unixsocket /run/zm/zmdc.sock then restart
group zm
start program = "/bin/systemctl start zoneminder"
stop program = "/bin/systemctl stop zoneminder"

No thats good i searched forum and found where youve given this script before and its been working great.

Now i just have to learn how to get email alerts from monit!

Many thanks
