This article, “How to install Monit on CentOS6 VPS,” covers a version of CentOS that reached end of life (EOL). It is no longer supported. As such, this guide is no longer maintained. If you are currently operating a server running CentOS 6, we highly recommend contacting RoseHosting’s fully managed support<\/a>. They can upgrade or migrate you to a supported version of AlmaLinux.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"how-to-install-monit-on-your-centos6-vps\"<\/a>Today we’ll show you how to install Monit<\/a> on your Centos VPS<\/a>. Monit is a monitoring and managing as well as an automatic maintenance tool. The monitoring can be directly on the command line or on the web. You can assign Monit multiple tasks (not only monitoring), so if a certain service fails the check, Monit can alert or do something about it (try to restart the service for example).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Install Monit on CentOS6<\/h2>\n

First, we need to make sure our server is up-to-date. Run the following:<\/p>\n

# yum update<\/span><\/p>\n

Before installing Monit, we need to install some of the files required by it. To do this, type:<\/p>\n

# yum install -y libcrypto.so.6 libssl.so.6<\/span><\/p>\n

Now we can download and install Monit on the server. This can also be achieved via the EPEL repository but you won’t get the latest version which will create additional configuation and usage difficulties for you. So, to download and install the latest Monit version on your server follow the next few simple steps:<\/p>\n

# wget http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/i386\/rpmforge\/RPMS\/monit-5.5-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm<\/span>
# rpm -Uvh http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/i386\/rpmforge\/RPMS\/monit-5.5-1.el6.rf.i686.rpm<\/span><\/p>\n

After the installation is complete, edit the main config file to resemble the example below using your favorite text editor and set your own username and password:<\/p>\n

# vim \/etc\/monit.conf<\/span><\/p>\n

set httpd port 2812 and \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 # set the listening port to your desire. default is 2812 (if setting custom port, make sure it does not overlap with some other service’s listening port)<\/span>
#\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 use address localhost\u00a0 # only accept connection from localhost<\/span>
#\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 allow localhost\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 # allow localhost to connect to the server and<\/span>
allow user:’password’\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 # require user ‘user’ with password ‘password’<\/span>
#\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 allow @monit\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 # allow users of group ‘monit’ to connect (rw)<\/span>
#\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 allow @users readonly\u00a0 # allow users of group ‘users’ to connect readonly<\/span><\/p>\n

After the initial config is completed, we can configure some of the services we want to monitor. To do this, we will create separate files for every service located within the \/etc\/monit.d\/ directory. Use your favorite text editor and create the files as shown for these couple of example service configurations:<\/p>\n

Webserver:
# vim \/etc\/monit.d\/http<\/span><\/h3>\n

check process webserver with pidfile \/var\/run\/httpd\/httpd.pid
group apache
start program = “\/etc\/init.d\/httpd start”
stop\u00a0 program = “\/etc\/init.d\/httpd stop”
if failed host 0.0.0.0 port 80 then restart<\/span><\/p>\n

NTP:
# vim \/etc\/monit.d\/ntp<\/span><\/h3>\n

check process ntpd with pidfile \/var\/run\/ntpd.pid
start program = “\/etc\/init.d\/ntpd start”
stop\u00a0 program = “\/etc\/init.d\/ntpd stop”
if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 123 type udp then alert<\/span><\/p>\n

SSH:
# vim \/etc\/monit.d\/ssh<\/span><\/h3>\n

start program\u00a0 “\/etc\/init.d\/sshd start”
stop program\u00a0 “\/etc\/init.d\/sshd stop”
if failed port 22 protocol ssh then restart<\/span><\/p>\n

After creating the desired configuration files, test the control file for syntax errors:<\/p>\n

# monit -t<\/span><\/p>\n

And start monit by simply typing:<\/p>\n

# monit<\/span><\/p>\n

Open your browser to http:\/\/youripaddress:yourport and enter the credentials you created in \/etc\/monit.conf<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

That’s it. We have successfully installed and configured Monit on our CentOS VPS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, if you are one of our Linux VPS Hosting<\/a> customers, you don\u2019t have to do any of this; simply ask our admins, sit back, and relax. Our admins will set this up for you immediately.<\/p>\n
