puppet-monit

Sets up a simple install of monit. With the default monitrc it will monitor:

• if loadavg (1min) > 4 then alert
• if loadavg (5min) > 3 then alert
• if memory usage > 75% then alert
• if cpu usage (user) > 70% then alert
• if cpu usage (system) > 30% then alert
• if cpu usage (wait) > 20% then alert
• if space usage > 75 % then alert

Note: In order for alerts to be sent, monit requires an SMTP server. By default, this module will use localhost as the SMTP server. See below on how you'd change this with a custom template. If you want a simple SMTP solution, check out my other module davidwinter/puppet-postfix.

Install

With librarian-puppet, add the following to your Puppetfile:

mod 'monit',
	:git => 'git://github.com/davidwinter/puppet-monit.git'

Then run librarian-puppet install.

Usage

class { 'monit':
	notification_email => '[e-mail]',
	hdd                => 'sda',
	system_hostname    => 'your.hostname.com',
}

You can override the default contents of /etc/monit/monitrc by creating your own template file, and using the template parameter:

class { 'monit':
	...
	template => 'yourconfmodule/monitrc.erb',
	...
}
