The installer will install two binaries:
monit-configure
(or a shortcut namedConfigure monit
in your start menu) which allows you to configure the M/Monit server to which it should report along with the user and password to authenticate. The settings are stored in the registry underHKLM\SOFTWARE\monit\
. TheinstanceId
is required to be unique and is generated automatically bymonit-configure
, you should leave it alone.- a
monit
service which runs and reports basic system statistics (version, memory, CPU information) to the configured M/Monit server every 60 seconds.
It doesn't do any fancy service monitoring, just the basic system statistics. I only wanted basic uptime monitoring of my Windows systems in M/Monit and this accomplishes that.
The Visual Studio solution was build with VS 2019 and requires Visual Studio Installer Projects to build the installer.
