Re: Is there a way to tell Monit to monitor by default all new services?

Hello Ciprian
you are not in a deadlock, as long as you define "mode passive" for a
service monit does not restart the service but send an alert.

You can define the start/stop/restart commands and use the commands via
the web or m/monit or the command line, this works well.

The option is available, it is "mode passive" or you override the "if
does not exist then start" by "if does not exist then alert".
