Monit appears to be working on command line but get 404 'There is no service by that name' in web interface

  • 772

Monit seems to be working, but when I go to the web interface at port :2812 I get:

Not Found
There is no service by that name

monit 5.2.5

--

But again, things appear ok on the CLI

-->:/var/log$ sudo monit -t
Control file syntax OK
-->:/var/log$ sudo monit status

  1. I had this error when I misconfigured my Nginx. After reading the wiki, I resolved monit 404 errors. Here's my /etc/nginx/conf.d/monit.conf:

    server {
    listen   80;
    server_name  my.server.name;

    location /monit/ {
            allow 127.0.0.1;
            allow 192.0.0.0/8;
            deny all;

            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:2812;
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            rewrite ^/monit/(.*) /$1 break;
            proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
    }
}

    Here's a sample /etc/monit.conf configuration file. Make sure you have something similar to the line beginning with "set httpd port 2812 and..." in your configuration file.

    set daemon 60
set logfile syslog facility log_daemon
set idfile /tmp/monit.id
set statefile /tmp/monit.state
set mailserver localhost
set alert [email protected]
set httpd port 2812 and
     #use address localhost  # only accept connection from localhost
      allow 172.16.16.0/255.255.255.0
      allow localhost        # allow localhost to connect to the server and
      allow admin:monit      # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'
  check system Fruity
    if loadavg (1min) > 6 then alert
    if loadavg (5min) > 6 then alert
    if memory usage > 90% then alert
    if swap usage > 20% then alert
    if cpu usage (user) > 90% then alert
    if cpu usage (system) > 75% then alert
    if cpu usage (wait) > 75% then alert

  3. I had the same problem, the site is behind NGINX proxy. Solved by this snipped:

    location /monit/ {
        rewrite ^/monit/(.*) /$1 break;
        proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
        proxy_pass   http://127.0.0.1:2812; 
        proxy_redirect  http://127.0.0.1:2812 /monit; 
        proxy_cookie_path / /monit/;
    }
