A work around for monit. Monitoring some ports

Hi Guys, I need some help if possible.

I am using monit to monitor ports 80, 443 and 8008

These ports runs node.js application and they don't have a PID file. So I can't monitor it per PID. That said I could use upstart to create deamon ( but my manager doesn't want that).

So as a work around I have setup it as a remote host, for exemplo

Code:

check host 54.213.234.16 with address 54.213.234.16



# Check port 80

    if failed 

          port 80 protocol http 

      for 1 times within 1 cycles

      then alert        



# Check port 443

    if failed 

          port 443 type tcpSSL protocol http 

      for 1 times within 1 cycles

      then alert

      

# Check port 8008

    if failed 

          port 8008 protocol http 

      for 1 times within 1 cycles

      then alert

This way it works fine for 80 and 443. However port 8008 requires authentication.... so in the monit log I got 401 error.

Code:

HTTP error: Server returned status 401

and monit thinks the process is down. So I don't know what to do here.

If You getting error 401 that means that Your port is open and server listen...
