[How-to] Configure MONIT to monitorize your server

[tioan]

And here some two little script which checks if an packages upgrade from apt is avaible or not

/etc/monit/monitrc

Code:

# aptupgrade_check
check file aptupgrade_check path /tmp/aptupgrade_check
   if failed checksum and
   expect the sum 9bef78b12cd45bf489e1fac427dcf3b6
   then alert

/etc/cron.daily/aptupgrade_check

Code:

#! /bin/sh
#
# cron script to check apt for packages upgrades
#
# Written by Mattheus Happe <mhappe@gmail.com>

export LANG=C

/usr/bin/apt-get update && /usr/bin/apt-get upgrade -s > /tmp/aptupgrade_check

/usr/local/sbin/aptupgrade_reset

Code:

#! /bin/sh
#
# script to check apt for packages upgrades
#
# Written by Mattheus Happe <mhappe@gmail.com>

export LANG=C

echo "Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." > /tmp/aptupgrade_check

then type

Code:

chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/aptupgrade_check &&
chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/aptupgrade_check

After upgrade your packages run /usr/local/sbin/aptupgrade_reset

For the future i will try to change the monit message checksumme failed into " apt upgrade available"

I hope someone will use it^^
