New: Issue #715: The PostgreSQL protocol test has been improved and
now supports authentication with username, password and database
when testing connection. Example:
if failed port 5432
protocol pgsql username "username" password "12345" database "test"
then alert
Previous Monit versions used hardcoded credentials when testing
connection to postgresql (user=root and database=root). This could
trigger thousands of messages like this in the postgresql log:
root@root FATAL: password authentication failed for user "root"
root@root DETAIL: Role "root" does not exist.
Note: Monit will continue to use the hardcoded credentials (for
backward compatibility) unless username and password are set.
New: Issue #973: You can now test program output using a regular
expression. Syntax:
IF CONTENT [!]= <regex> THEN action
Example:
check program disk0_smart with path "/usr/sbin/nvme smart-log /dev/nvme0"
if content != "critical_warning[ ]+: 0" then alert
New: Issue #974: Monit CLI: Added support for the -g (group) option
to the report command. Example:
monit -g database report
Fixed: Issue #991 (Monit 5.28.1 regression): MacOS: Monit didn't
compile on MacOS 10.13 or older. Thanks to Lutz Mader.
Fixed: Issue #994 (Monit 5.28.1 regression): The check program
statement with every did not work properly.
Fixed: Issue #995: Monit start delay was vulnerable to time jumps
when Monit is waiting for the delay to pass. Thanks to Daniel Crowe.
Fixed: Issue #975: Monit CLI: Monit did not report a warning if -s,
-p, -l, -g or -c command-line options were specified multiple times
and silently used the last value only. Monit will generate a warning
now.
Fixed: Issue #972: Monit GUI: The log view had no size limit when
reading the Monit log file and could block the browser if the log
file was large.
Fixed: Issue #955: If more than one every statement is used in
a check-service context only the last value is (silently) used.
We now report a warning in this case.
