Default monit configuration for thin-edge.io. It includes sensible monit defaults settings and enables/starts the related services.
This is a community driven repository where users are encouraged to create PRs to add support for any additional init system, or make changes to any of the existing definitions.
The following thin-edge.io customization is included in the plugin.
- install and configure monit with a localhost:2812 interface (see details below)
- enable/start the
monitservice
Monit http web interface (http://localhost:2812)
By default the web interface will be enabled, however it will only be accessible from on the device itself (as it will block any connection attempts from other devices for security reasons).
The monit UI can be accessed using the cumulocity-remote-access-cloud-http-proxy extensions (UI and microservice) which enables you to access the monit web interface directly from the Cumulocity IoT Device Management UI by using the Cumulocity Cloud Remote Access Passthrough feature.
Below shows an example of the monit web interface access from Cumulocity IoT.
After installing the cumulocity-remote-access-cloud-http-proxy UI plugin and microservice, the web interface can be accessed by creating a Remote Access Passthrough configuration with the following configuration:
| Configuration | Value |
|---|---|
| name | http:monit |
| type | PASSTHROUGH |
| host | 127.0.0.1 |
| port | 2812 |
Note: You may have to refresh the page before the "monit" tab will appear.
