[PhillyOnRails] Monit + Mongrel

["Randy Schmidt" <randy.schmidt@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Does anybody here have experience with Monit and Mongrel? The commands
I have for start program and stop program work by themselves on the
command line, however, in monit, they don't seem to work. I get:

: monit -g wire_staging_mongrels restart mongrel_6000
'mongrel_6000' trying to restart
'mongrel_6000' stop: /usr/local/bin/ruby
Sending TERM to Mongrel at PID 3930...Done.
'mongrel_6000' start: /usr/local/bin/ruby
'mongrel_6000' failed to start

with this config file:

set daemon 60
set mailserver localhost
set mail-format { from: monit@umlatte.com }
set alert sysadmin@umlatte.com
set logfile syslog facility log_daemon
set httpd port 2812 and
	use address localhost # and only accept connection from localhost
	allow localhost       # allow localhost to connect to the server and
  allow admin:monitor     # user 'admin' with password 'monit'

check process mongrel_6000
	with pidfile /var/www/apps/wire/staging/current/log/mongrel.6000
	start program = "/usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails
start -d -e staging -a 127.0.0.1 -c /var/www/apps/wire/staging/current
-p 6000 -P /var/www/apps/wire/staging/current/log/mongrel.6000 -l
/var/www/apps/wire/staging/current/log/mongrel.6000"
	stop program = "/usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails stop
-P /var/www/apps/wire/staging/current/log/mongrel.6000"
	if mem is greater than 60.0 MB for 4 cycles then restart # eating up memory?
	if cpu is greater than 50% for 2 cycles then alert # send an email to admin
	if cpu is greater than 80% for 3 cycles then restart # hung process?
	if loadavg(5min) greater than 4 for 8 cycles then restart  # bad, bad, bad
	GROUP wire_staging_mongrels

Some more info:
  * Yes, the environment is actually staging
  * I'm using mongrel_rails by itself instead of mongrel cluster
because when doing /usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails cluster::restart, it
uses mongrel_rails and monit can't find it (there is a very limited
PATH setup

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Randy
