feature request: check unixsocket (at localhost) with no process .pid

[Yuriy Kohut]

I've faced with an impossibility to monitor Redis Server, which runs on localhost in RHEL/CentOS 7.x x86_64 box and serve connections via unix-socket.

The problem is, the systemd doesn't create any {{.pid}} files for running services/processes.

Could you please assist me on how to monitor such kind of services/processes.

You can use "check process redis matching <pattern>" instead of pidfile. The process pattern can be used using monit CLI:

monit procmatch redis

Cool, this is the thing I really needed.

Thank you for the assistance.

BTW., is it possible to contact you any other way ? May I e-mail into [e-mail] ?
