"Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS"

below error its returning when we ran “monit -t”, even we included python shebang line too.

/etc/monit/conf.d/pagerduty-trigger-resolve.py:3: syntax error 'import'

‌

our python script contains following script

‌

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import requests
import json
import argparse
import sys
import hashlib
import os
import datetime

SERVICE_ID = 'PYY8IMS'
fromemailaddress = '[e-mail]'
incstatus=""
import socket

You cannot put a non-monit-configuration file into ubuntu/debian's /etc/monit/conf.d directory. ALL files inside this directory are used as config files. See the last lines of /etc/monit/monitrc on your Ubuntu host.

Simply move the py-script into a directory outside conf.d and it should work... For sure you also have to alter the path inside the config file that uses this script.

invalid configuration

After moving scripts out of conf.d directory, monit working good.
