check domoticz with monit and restart when check fails Topic is solved

[Theedoek]

That worked thanks. Finally solved it by checking the access rights. My monit control file now looks like this:

Code: Select all

###############################################################################
## Monit control file
###############################################################################

SET DAEMON 300    # check services at 2-minute intervals
WITH START DELAY 240    # optional: delay the first check by 4-minutes (by default Monit check immediately after Monit start)
SET LOGFILE /var/ramdrive/monit.log
SET IDFILE /var/lib/monit/id
SET STATEFILE /var/lib/monit/state
SET EVENTQUEUE
    BASEDIR /var/lib/monit/events
    SLOTS 100

SET MAILSERVER
    <mailserver address> port 465
    USERNAME "<username>" PASSWORD "<password>"

SET HTTPD PORT 2812
ALLOW localhost
ALLOW 10.0.0.0/24       # allow local network
ALLOW admin:monit      # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'
ALLOW @monit              # allow users of group 'monit' to connect read/write
allow @users readonly     # allow users of group 'users' to connect readonly

CHECK PROCESS Domoticz WITH PIDFILE /var/run/domoticz.pid
START PROGRAM = "/etc/init.d/domoticz.sh start"
STOP PROGRAM = "/etc/init.d/domoticz.sh stop"
IF FAILED
    HOST 127.0.0.1 PORT 8080 PROTOCOL HTTP
    AND REQUEST "/json.htm?type=command&param=getversion"
    AND CONTENT = '"status" : "OK"'
    FOR 3 cycles
    THEN RESTART
IF 5 RESTARTS WITHIN 5 CYCLES THEN EXEC "/sbin/reboot"

Next step is to figure out why monit reboots my Raspberry Pi every exact 3 hours :S

I have followed the steps in the wiki https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Monitoring_domoticz
All seems to be fine up to the point of trying

sudo monit start all


Then I get the following message:
There is no service named "domoticz"


Someone knows why ?
I tried the different configs posted in this thread and checked the ip's and all.
And yes, domoticz is running.



EDIT:
I have got it working now.
I think I forgot to realod the monit service. Got it all working after stopping the service and starting it again. No more error messages when I use the reload command or start command.
And I can see the status in both putty and webservice.

Is it possible thar monit restarts my RPI3 (recently upgraded to Buster, and upgraded Domoticz)?

After all upgrades I get random reboots od RPI, middle of night, during day, every 2-3 days.

Before all updates RPI was allive 180 days.

thx

Well, check your monit log it will tell you!

Yes, monit did it. Because domoticz was not running, but havent noticed that domoticz was not running in that period.

Is it possible that monit have some problems with new version of Domoticz?

Spoiler: show

hello all,
one way or another but Domoticz main crashes after prox 10 hours since i have been struggling with master/slave RPI.
I cannot find the reason so installed Monit for help.
But the webpage shows domoticz not connected. I have checked the setting in security trusted network and 127.0.0.1 is present.
any idea



(2 x RPI and a boatload of ESPeasy)
