Monit is a small Open Source utility for managing and monitoring Unix systems. It conducts automatic maintenance and repair and can engage in stage-based escalation if there are problems.
Integrating the Monit monitoring tool with Netdata provides real-time, comprehensive monitoring of system services. With Netdata, you can visualize all the data that Monit collects, helping you monitor Monit and optimize your infrastructure more effectively. To see it in action, check out our live demo.
Monitoring Monit is crucial as it helps ensure that your service checks are functioning correctly. It keeps you informed about the health and performance of your infrastructure, allowing you to take proactive measures before minor issues become major problems. This is particularly useful for DevOps, SREs, developers, IT admins, and engineers who require robust tools for monitoring and maintaining system reliability.
Using tools like Netdata enhances Monit monitoring by providing real-time, interactive dashboards, alerting capabilities, and performance diagnostics. It empowers you to visualize data trends over time, enabling better data-driven decision-making.
Netdata’s Monit module gathers several critical metrics. Here are some key metrics to monitor:
| Metric Name | Description |
|---|---|
| monit.service_check_status | Displays the current status of service checks: OK, error, initializing, or not monitored. |
For a deeper dive into the metrics, you can see the Monit collector documentation.
To wield powerful insights from Monit monitoring, leverage Netdata’s advanced alert system. Create custom alerts that align with your specific thresholds and benchmark accordingly to your organization’s needs.

Monit monitoring involves tracking the performance and status of various services and systems managed by Monit to ensure they are operating optimally.
It allows you to detect, analyze, and address system performance issues before they escalate, saving time, resources, and potentially preventing service downtime.
A Monit monitor checks system service statuses, hardware or software resources, and performs configured actions such as restart services when they fail a check.
You can use Netdata to monitor Monit in real-time, which will provide you instant insights and trends for quick reactions. View the real-time monitoring capabilities in our live demo.
