Multiple Actions - IF <resource> <operator> <value> THEN <action1> OR|AND <action2>

[Former user]

It would be a very nice feature if i we can use multiple actions.

for example:

####
#
# Alert Puppet DB Crash
#

## check if puppetdb crashes comes into log
check file puppetserver.log with path /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver.log
        start program = "/usr/bin/systemctl start puppetdb ; /usr/bin/systemctl start puppetserver"
        stop  program = "/usr/bin/systemctl stop puppetdb ; /usr/bin/systemctl stop puppetserver"
        restart program  = "/usr/bin/systemctl restart puppetdb ; /usr/bin/systemctl restart puppetserver"
        if match "c.p.h.c.i.PersistentSyncHttpClient" then restart
        if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
        depends on puppetdb
        alert root@localhost

## check & rescue puppetdb
check process puppetdb with pidfile /var/run/puppetlabs/puppetdb/puppetdb.pid
        group puppetdb
        start program = "/usr/bin/systemctl start puppetdb"
        stop  program = "/usr/bin/systemctl stop puppetdb"
        restart program  = "/usr/bin/systemctl restart puppetdb"
        if failed uid puppetdb then unmonitor
        if failed gid puppetdb then unmonitor
        if failed port 8080 then restart
        if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
        depends on puppetserver
        alert root@localhost

## check & rescue puppetserver
check file puppetserver with path /usr/lib/systemd/system/puppetserver.service
        group puppet
        start program = "/usr/bin/systemctl start puppetserver"
        stop  program = "/usr/bin/systemctl stop püppetserver"
        restart program  = "/usr/bin/systemctl restart puppetserver"
        if failed permission 644 then unmonitor
        if failed uid root then unmonitor
        if failed gid root then unmonitor
        if failed port 8140 then restart
        if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
        depends on puppetdb
        alert root@localhost

Sometimes Puppet Crash with an special Log Entry:" c.p.h.c.i.PersistentSyncHttpClient" and if it crashed so we have to restart the PuppetDB (puppetserver) and the PuppetMaster (puppetserver) but it does not work for me because i can restart only one service or i've to create another start/stop script...

Hello,
you try to restart the "puppetserver" and "puppetdb" service outside Monit.
From my point of view something like the following should restart all services inside Monit.

check file puppetserver.log with path /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver.log
        start program = "/usr/bin/local/monit start puppetserver"
        stop  program = "/usr/bin/local/monit stop puppetdb"
#        restart program  = "/usr/bin/local/monit restart puppetdb"
        if match "c.p.h.c.i.PersistentSyncHttpClient" then restart
        if 3 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
#        depends on puppetdb
        alert root@localhost

You should not define a "depends on" to both, you define a dependency loop.

From my point of view the "puppetserver" should depend on "puppetdb".
By stopping "puppetdb" the "puppetserver" will stopped also.
And starting the "puppetserver" will start the "puppetdb" first. To use different start/stop services is the reason I removed the “restart program” statement.

A suggestion only,
Lutz

p.s.

The command “monit restart puppetdb“ will stop “puppetserver” and “puppetdb”, but start “puppetdb” only, unfortunatly.
