Monit is a free and open source tool for managing and monitoring processes, programs, files, directories and filesystems on a Unix system. Monit also monitors different services like Apache, Nginx, MySQL, FTP, SSH, Sendmail and many more. It allows system administrators to get notified and fix problems as soon as possible with minimal interruption. Monit comes with a user-friendly web interface where you can easily view the system status. You can also monitor remote hosts TCP/IP port, server protocols and ping using Monit. If any services go down, it conducts automatic maintenance and repair and can execute meaningful causal actions in error situations. Monit also keeps its own log file and alerts about any critical error conditions and recovery status via customizable messages.
