Monit Input Plugin

This plugin gathers metrics and status information about local processes, remote hosts, files, file systems, directories and network interfaces managed and watched over by Monit.

Introduced in: Telegraf v1.14.0 Tags: network OS support: all

Global configuration options

In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.

Configuration

# Read metrics and status information about processes managed by Monit
[[inputs.monit]]
  ## Monit HTTPD address
  address = "http://127.0.0.1:2812"

  ## Username and Password for Monit
  # username = ""
  # password = ""

  ## Amount of time allowed to complete the HTTP request
  # timeout = "5s"

  ## Optional TLS Config
  # tls_ca = "/etc/telegraf/ca.pem"
  # tls_cert = "/etc/telegraf/cert.pem"
  # tls_key = "/etc/telegraf/key.pem"
  ## Use TLS but skip chain & host verification
  # insecure_skip_verify = false
