README.Debian: -------------- * New and deprecated alerts and monitors in mon-1.2.0: ------------------------------------------------------ - Added alerts: · irc.alert - Added monitors: · dns-query.monitor · local-syslog.monitor · lpd.monitor · ntpdate.monitor · radius.monitor · snmpdiskspace.monitor · snmpvar.monitor · trace.monitor - Removed alerts: · remote.alert - Removed monitors: · http_t.monitor · http_tp.monitor · http_tpp.monitor - Rename monitors: · dialin.monitor to dialin.monitor.wrap * Daemon runs under 'mon' user: ------------------------------- The daemon is not longer running as 'daemon' user. Since version 0.99.2-12, mon runs under user 'mon', that is created at the package installation/update process. * Daemon control via /etc/default/mon: -------------------------------------- Now 'mon' daemon can be controlled through /etc/default/mon directly. These 2 options allows you to control the daemon behaviour: - ENABLED: If you don't want to run 'mon' at boot time, please ensure the variable ENABLED in /etc/default/mon is set to something different to : "yes", "true" or "1" Default is: ENABLED="yes" - DAEMON_OPTS: Additional options can be passed to the daemon by adding them to DAEMON_OPTS. Default is DAEMON_OPTS=" -f -c /etc/mon/mon.cf -A /etc/mon/auth.cf" * Using CGI: ------------ If a webserver with CGI support is available on your system, both web interfaces can be accessed from the following URL: http:///cgi-bin/monshow.cgi OR http:///cgi-bin/mon.cgi The layout and behaviour of both interfaces, can be modified via an independent configuration files. Changes on 'monshow.cgi' should be made via it's configuration file '/etc/mon/monshowrc' For details see: /usr/share/doc/mon/README.cgi-bin /usr/share/doc/mon/examples/example.monshowrc * Using local monitors: ----------------------- Under Debian GNU/Linux, paths for alerts and monitors differs from the original paths provided by software in order to comply with FHS. Our alerts are located under '/usr/lib/mon/alert.d' and our monitors under '/usr/lib/mon/mon.d' directory. Please take this into account if your intend to add your own scripts.
