Share monit.rc entry for Ferret Drb?

Hi,

we’re using monit to watch over our mongrels and I want to add an entry
for the ferret Drb server. Would anyone care to share their montit.rc
entry?

Thanks

Hey Matthew, I am currently in the process of doing the same.

Here is my entry for the monitrc file:

System services

include /etc/monit/includes/ferret

Then in

/etc/monit/includes/ferret

"

ferret (DRB Server Monitoring):

-------------------------------

check process ferret with pidfile
/var/www/kisscafe/shared/pids/ferret.pid
start program = “/etc/init.d/ferret start”
stop program = “/etc/init.d/ferret stop”
if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 9009 type tcp then alert
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
"

I’ve altered a start / stop script I found on the Act_as_ferret manual
to work with our current needs (as we use capistrano for clustering
across machines, so the current directory is where ferret needs to be
launched from) which is:

"
#!/bin/bash

This script starts and stops the ferret DRb server

chkconfig: 2345 89 36

description: Ferret search engine for ruby apps.

save the current directory

CURDIR=pwd
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

RORPATH="/var/www/site/current/"

case “$1” in
start)
cd $RORPATH
echo “Starting ferret DRb server.”
RAILS_ENV=production
/var/www/site/current/script/ferret_start
;;
stop)
cd $RORPATH
echo “Stopping ferret DRb server.”
RAILS_ENV=production
/var/www/site/current/script/ferret_stop
;;
*)
echo $“Usage: $0 {start, stop}”
exit 1
;;
esac

cd $CURDIR
"

Hope that helps.
