+## have a look in the monit manual.

+## Global section
+###############################################################################
+##
+## Start monit in background (run as daemon) and check the services at 2-minute
+## intervals.
+#
+# set daemon 120
+#
+#
+## Set syslog logging with the 'daemon' facility. If the FACILITY option is
+## omited, monit will use 'user' facility by default. You can specify the
+## path to the file for monit native logging.
+#
+# set logfile syslog facility log_daemon
+#
+#
+## Set list of mailservers for alert delivery. Multiple servers may be
+## specified using comma separator. By default monit uses port 25 - it is
+## possible to override it with the PORT option.
+#
+# set mailserver mail.bar.baz, # primary mailserver
+# backup.bar.baz port 10025, # backup mailserver on port 10025
+# localhost # fallback relay
+#
+#
+## By default monit will drop the event alert, in the case that there is no
+## mailserver available. In the case that you want to keep the events for
+## later delivery retry, you can use the EVENTQUEUE statement. The base
+## directory where undelivered events will be stored is specified by the
+## BASEDIR option. You can limit the maximal queue size using the SLOTS
+## option (if omited then the queue is limited just by the backend filesystem).
+#
+# set eventqueue
+# basedir /var/monit # set the base directory where events will be stored
+# slots 100 # optionaly limit the queue size
+#
+#
+## Monit by default uses the following alert mail format:
+##
+## --8<--
+## From: monit@$HOST # sender
+## Subject: monit alert -- $EVENT $SERVICE # subject
+##
+## $EVENT Service $SERVICE #
+## #
+## Date: $DATE #
+## Action: $ACTION #
+## Host: $HOST # body
+## Description: $DESCRIPTION #
+## #
+## Your faithful employee, #
+## monit #
+## --8<--
+##
+## You can override the alert message format or its parts such as subject
+## or sender using the MAIL-FORMAT statement. Macros such as $DATE, etc.
+## are expanded on runtime. For example to override the sender:
+#
+# set mail-format { from: monit@foo.bar }
+#
+#
+## You can set the alert recipients here, which will receive the alert for
+## each service. The event alerts may be restricted using the list.
+#
+# set alert sysadm@foo.bar # receive all alerts
+# set alert manager@foo.bar only on { timeout } # receive just service-
+# # timeout alert
+#
+#
+## Monit has an embedded webserver, which can be used to view the
+## configuration, actual services parameters or manage the services using the
+## web interface.
+#
+# set httpd port 2812 and
+# use address localhost # only accept connection from localhost
+# allow localhost # allow localhost to connect to the server and
+# allow admin:monit # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'
+#

+## Check the general system resources such as load average, cpu and memory
+## usage. Each rule specifies the tested resource, the limit and the action
+## which will be performed in the case that the test failed.

+## Check that a process is running, responding on the HTTP and HTTPS request,
+## check its resource usage such as cpu and memory, number of childrens.
+## In the case that the process is not running, monit will restart it by
+## default. In the case that the service was restarted very often and the
+## problem remains, it is possible to disable the monitoring using the

+## Check a file's timestamp: when it becomes older then 15 minutes, the
