** Web interface
The web interface is setup in the =000-global= file. The current setup is the one I use my dev machine setup. This is a standalone firewalled machine.
If on the Internet then you should use a [[http://mmonit.com/wiki/Monit/EnableSSLInMonit][SSL setup]] for the web interface.
** Installation
Copy the file(s) you're interested to =/etc/monit/conf.d=. Start or restart monit. Note that I'm assuming a Debian like directory hierarchy. =/etc -> /etc/monit/ -> /etc/monit/conf.d=
The base configuration file =/etc/monit/monitrc= has as last statement the inclusion of all files in the =conf.d= subdirectory of =/etc/monit=.
There's no tampering with the package installed =monitrc=. Instead all global settings are defined in a =000-global= file that due to its name is the first to be included in =monitrc= therefore making all statements there affect all other configuration files.
** Alerts
All alerts are sent to =root@localhost= you should either/or define an alias/forward for root or alter the address in =000-global=.
The mailserver is also localhost in port 25. Change it if necessary for your mail setup.
