Monit Input Plugin

The monit plugin gathers metrics and status information about local processes, remote hosts, file, file systems, directories and network interfaces managed and watched over by Monit.

The use this plugin you should first enable the HTTPD TCP port in Monit.

Minimum Version of Monit tested with is 5.16.

Configuration

[[inputs.monit]]
  ## Monit HTTPD address
  address = "http://127.0.0.1:2812"

  ## Username and Password for Monit
  # username = ""
  # password = ""

  ## Amount of time allowed to complete the HTTP request
  # timeout = "5s"

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false
