What is Monit?

Monit is a small open source tool for managing and monitoring Unix systems.

Monit will monitor the specified service process if it is automatically shut down, it will automatically restart, and it can send email notifications in case of errors.

If you are on CentOS 7, run VestaCP as your panel and you have Monit installed to monitor your server processes such as: Nginx, Apache, MariaDB and others.

RHEL/CentOS 7 64-bit:

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

RHEL/CentOS 6 32-bit:

wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
