monit with delayed_job.

Question

if my delayed_job server broke than monit will automatically restart the delayed_job server again or not?

Answer 1

You have to tell monit to do this... I use the following config:

check process delayed_job with pidfile /srv/rails/restorm_com/current/tmp/pids/delayed_job.pid
  start program = "/bin/su -c 'RAILS_ENV=production /srv/rails/restorm_com/current/script/delayed_job start' rails"
  stop program  = "/bin/su -c 'RAILS_ENV=production /srv/rails/restorm_com/current/script/delayed_job stop' rails"

  if cpu > 80% for 3 cycles then alert
  if loadavg(5min) greater than 2 for 3 cycles then alert
