@hari In the example given the http interface would be at http://myserver.domain.com:2812 You might need to open that port on your firewall. Otherwise it should just work.

@Rik Bignell I’m not sure, but I’d guess the problem is in your exim config. I’m using postfix. Try telnet-ing to port 25 on your mail server from your monit machine, and seeing if you can send a mail by hand to / from the addresses in your monit config.

thanks for this post. I have followed everything and started monit, but how do I view the http interface that you mentioned?

thanks

Thanks, it seems to be working although i have two issues:

One, i'm using monit to monitor clam-deamon via its pid

It seems to be doing as it should and restarts the deamon if it fails although i dont get an email when it fails and the status always says "Connection failed":

Process 'clamd' status Connection failed monitoring status monitored pid 20937 parent pid 1 uptime 22m childrens 0 memory kilobytes 137512 memory kilobytes total 137512 memory percent 7.1% memory percent total 7.1% cpu percent 0.0% cpu percent total 0.0% data collected Mon Aug 30 10:33:56 2010

My exim mainlog looks as if its trying to send a mail:
