Uptime for individual service

  • 772

I am running multiple unicorn processes on my production server. Now I want to check the individual service uptime of my services. For instance if any unicorn process restart automatically, it should start recording its uptime. By this means I want to calculate what is the uptime of the service since its last start/restart/reload Note: Here I am not talking about the server uptime which can be known by using uptime command like below.

$ uptime
 19:11:25 up 2 days, 21:28,  1 user,  load average: 0.11, 0.09, 0.11

I would like to know the uptime of individual service like uptime of nginx

Is it possible to know it somehow?

linux ubuntu service daemon uptime

    Monit works great for this.

    The monit status command shows this information clearly:
