Monit Developer(s) Tildeslash Ltd Stable release 5.3 Written in C Operating system Cross-platform Available in English Type Process Supervision License GPL 3.0 Website http://mmonit.com/monit/ monit is a free, open source process supervision tool for Unix and Linux. With monit, system status can be viewed directly from the command line, or via the native HTTP(S) web server. Monit rose to popularity with Ruby on Rails and the Mongrel web server, because a tool was needed that could manage the many identical mongrel processes that needed to be run to support a scalable Ruby on Rails site, and monit was fairly uniquely suited for the needs of the Ruby on Rails community.[1]
Monit is licensed under the GPL and is written in C.
Many popular Rails sites have used "monit", including: twitter[2] and scribd[3].
M/Monit, a purchased software distributed by the creators of monit (Tildeslash LTD) expands upon the capabilities of monit, providing multi-host monitoring and analysis from within one web interface.
