Monitoring

The monitoring of servers and services in ASYD is handled by monit. The ASYD server check against the local monit installation on the remote host for any changes on the status of the server itself or any service being monitored.

Set Up

The monitoring is automatically set up on every host added to ASYD using a "deploy" which installs and configures monit on any of the supported systems.

This "deploy" can be found under data/deploys/monit/ after the initial setup is done. You can also modify this deploy according to your needs. Please read the deploys section on the documentation.

Monitors

Monitors are standard monit configuration files defined for single services.

This files are stored under data/monitors/ and they accept conditionals and variables as for any other configuration file (see configurations on the documentation), allowing you to write a single monitor file for any kind of host.

The file name for the monitor file must have the same name as the service being monitored (i.e. for monitoring nginx you should place the monitor file as data/monitors/nginx).

You can monitor services

1. Using the monitor command on a "def" file.
2. Placing on any configuration file the <%MONITOR:service%> tag where service is the name of the service as written on the monitor filename.
