monit does not execute command on file size failure

[Harivardhan Pyaram]

For some reason monit does not run the exec command on file size failure. This means our logs are not getting rotated and causing unrelated problems.

I am attaching the relevant conf file and the monit.log with very verbose logging enabled.

Monit 5.16 or alter executes the action on state change only, changelog excerpt:

New: The exec action is now executed only once, on state change, same way as the alert
action. The new "repeat" option allows to repeat the exec action after given number of
cycles if the error persists.  Syntax:
    if <test> then exec <script> repeat every <x> cycles
If you want to get the old behaviour, use "repeat every 1 cycle". Example:
    if failed port 1234 then exec "/usr/bin/myscript.sh" repeat every 5 cycles

You can use the "repeat" option to repeat logrotate if the error persists.
