Attributes

Most of these are very straight-forward, and pulled directly from the manual.
See the inline documentation in attributes/*.rb for details.

The few "special" attributes are noted below:

  • default['monit']['config']['alert'] (default: []): this attributes configures global set alert config option for each Hash element with attribute name and optional event filters

Documentation for event filters can be found here.

"default_attributes": {
  "monit": {
    "config": {
      "alert": [
        {
                "name": "root@localhost",
                "but_not_on": [ "nonexist" ]
              },
              {
                "name": "netadmin@localhost",
                "only_on": [ "nonexist", "timeout", "icmp", "connection"]
              },
              {
                "name": "iwantall@localhost",
              }
            ]
    }
  }
}
  • default['monit']['config']['mail_servers'] (default: []): this attributes configures set mailserver config option for each Hash element (mail server) with hash like so:
"default_attributes": {
  "monit": {
    "config": {
            "mail_servers": [
          {
          "hostname": "localhost",
          "port": 25,
          "username": null,
          "password": null,
          "security": null,
          "timeout": "30 seconds"
        }
            ]
    }
  }
}
  • default['monit']['config']['built_in_configs'] (default: []): this defines what built-in configuration files will be included
"default_attributes": {
  "monit": {
    "config": {
      "built_in_configs": [
        "memcached",
        "nginx"
      ]
    }
  }
}
