Status?

[Alexis Yushin]

Hi,

For what its worth ­ I do not think monit is not really suitable as a
monitoring/alerting tool as  such. It is a rather process control tool which
should be used in conjunction with a proper alerting system such as nagios
for example.

One can easily add tests in nagios that would be monitoring monit logfiles
and raising alerts when something goes wrong.

That¹s how we¹ve solved this and it works fine!
