Configure monit services in AL2023
- Monit is a free, open-source process supervision tool for Unix and Linux that supervises system status from the command line or its web server.
- It monitors system processes, resources usage and file/directory changes, restarts failed services automatically, and alerts users via email or other methods.
- Monit provides more granular control for monitoring services like web servers, databases, and other background processes.
- Using Monit on AWS EC2 allows monitoring services like nginx, apache, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other background processes. You can customize thresholds for resource usage, and receive alerts for failures.
- For installing Monit on EC2, a suitable AMI (Amazon Linux 2, Ubuntu, etc.) should be chosen, EC2 instance launched, and SSH initiated into the instance.
- Follow the steps to install Monit on your EC2 instance using your system's package manager, or create an RPM package for CentOS/RHEL/Fedora from the source code directly using rpmbuild.
- Monit executes various optional commands such as starting, stopping or restarting services, enabling or disabling monitoring, reinitializing Monit, validating, checking process matching patterns, and more.
- To validate that Monit is functioning as expected, you need to test it by following the commands, and enable logging to troubleshoot and identify any issues.
- After setting up Monit, it helps automate overall EC2 instance maintenance, keep services running smoothly, and maintain high system availability and operational efficiency.
