This module installs and configures Monit. It allows you to enable HTTP Dashboard an to add check from a file.

WARNING: For RedHat systems, you may need to add an additional repository like the EPEL repository. You can use the module stahnma-epel to do this.

include ::monit

class { 'monit':
  httpd          => true,
  httpd_address  => '172.16.0.3',
  httpd_password => 'CHANGE_ME',
}

Using the source parameter:

monit::check { 'ntp':
  source => "puppet:///modules/${module_name}/ntp",
}

Or using the content parameter with a string:

monit::check { 'ntp':
  content => 'check process ntpd with pidfile /var/run/ntpd.pid
  start program = "/etc/init.d/ntpd start"
  stop  program = "/etc/init.d/ntpd stop"
  if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 123 type udp then alert
  if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
',
}

Or using the content parameter with a template:

monit::check { 'ntp':
  content => template("${module_name}/ntp.erb"),
}

monit::check { 'ntp':
  ensure => absent,
}
