Is it possible to collect telemetry data through Monit? I mean to know whether Monit can be used as a replacement for Opentelemetry.

Yes, to monitor multiple hosts from a single dashboard you need to install M-monit, an enterprise application, with a one-time license fee (it is not expensive). We use Mmonit at my work to monitor over 100 hosts, has email and slack notifications and metric charts, an excellent monitoring tool that's much easier to set up and maintain than Nagios.

Very helpful documentation on monit. I have a problem sending email alerts for events/service changes and I am getting the error message in the apigee-monit.log - [EST Feb 22 23:34:38] error : Mail: STARTTLS required but the mail server doesn't support it Alert handler failed, retry scheduled for next cycle. How can I work around this error ?

# vi /opt/apigee/data/apigee-monit/my-mail-config.conf

SET MAILSERVER  x.com PORT 25
USERNAME "EnterpriseServiceBus@x.com"  PASSWORD ""

# USING SSL, WITH TIMEOUT 30  SECONDS
  USING TLS
SET MAIL-FORMAT {
  from: apigeeadmin@x.com
  subject: Monit Alert -- Service: $SERVICE $EVENT on $HOST
}
SET ALERT sandip.bose@x.com

In reply to QuangPH.

@QuangPH,

No nagios plugin doesn’t provide auto restart of services functionality..
