<Service Name> convention

[Patrick Oberdorfer]

Service names need to be related characters.

I have tried several combinations of special chars to get some usefull service names but none work like a "%" char.

Service names can only be set together with "-" and "_" it would be nice if we could do something like "Server name" instead of "Service_name".

I ended up with service names like:

mailqueue_deferred_above_5000

mailqueue_hold_above_10000

mailqueue_incoming_above_1000

mailqueue_top_spammer_above_5000

Maybe you can give some feedback or ideas up on this. Thanks!

I totally agree. The naming scheme is... let's say "a pain" ;)

Even after quoting the names no special characters can be used. I ended up using the pipe | as a namespace divider and [squared brackets] for type definitions. At least those chars are allowed...

Fixed in Monit 5.26.0, snip from changelog:

New: Allow any characters including space in a service name if the name is
     enclosed in quotes. Example:
     check process "apache 😍" with pidfile /var/run/httpd.pid
