Monit does not update its config file

[power13]

Hi guys

When I delete LoadAvg15 in Services --> Monit --> Settings --> Service Tests Settings and add it again with the same definition in the Web UI, its not in /usr/local/etc/monitrc anymore.

If I modify LoadAvg1 or LoadAvg5 in the Web UI, changes are written in /usr/local/etc/monitrc as expected.

But whatever I do, I cannot add LoadAvg15 in Web UI, so it would be written in /usr/local/etc/monitrc again.

As I deleted LoadAvg5, I had the same problem. After restoring opnsense configuration, LoadAvg5 was present again and was updated in /usr/local/etc/monitrc.

However, I cannot see any differences between LoadAvg1, LoadAvg5 and LoadAvg15 in the config export:

        <condition>loadavg (15min) is greater than 8</condition>
        <action>alert</action>
        <path/>
      </test>
How can I add LoadAvg15 in Web UI again, so its written to /usr/local/etc/monitrc? Unfortunately I do not have the backup anymore where LoadAvg15 worked ...

I tried to uninstall and install monit again on CLI, but this did not help.

Can anybody confirm the behaviour with monit?

Best regards

I could confirm this in a freshyl installed OPNsense 26.1.4-amd64.

LoadAvg15 was not present in /usr/local/etc/monitrc already, looks broken after installation.

When deleting and re-adding LoadAvg5, LoadAvg5 is not configured anymore in /usr/local/etc/monitrc.
After restoring configuration, LoadAvg5 is present again in /usr/local/etc/monitrc.

However, without restoring configuration, LoadAvg5 is not written anymore into /usr/local/etc/monitrc.

May anybody test this with another OPNsense version?

Check the backend log for template errors:

# opnsense-log configd

Looks good to me, no errors. But same result.

Config check is fine too.

monit -t
Control file syntax OK
