Automatically Start Zimbra zmconfigd Service

In the previous article, i have already explained how to automatically start the stopped cbpolicyd services using Monit. In this article, i will also use monit to monitor zimbra services. The next is how to automatically start zmconfigd services.

Every morning, i always get notifications that zimbra zmconfigd always stopped. Then, when i check it, the service is run again. But its annoying. Sometimes it’s not run. I have to start it manually.

So, i also use monit to monitor zmconfigd service. Here it is.

1. For installation, you can check my previous article on first paragraph. use apt install monitor yum install monit.
   
2. Then create a file on /etc/monit/conf-available/

vi /etc/monit/conf-available/zmconfigd

check file zmconfigd with path /opt/zimbra/log/zmconfigd.pid
   group zimbra
   start program = "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmconfigdctl start"
   as uid zimbra and gid zimbra
   stop  program = "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmconfigdctl stop"
   as uid zimbra and gid zimbra
   restart  program = "/opt/zimbra/bin/zmconfigdctl restart"
   as uid zimbra and gid zimbra

Then, make a symlink for monit configuration.

ln -s /etc/monit/conf-available/zmconfigd /etc/monit/conf-enabled/

Start Monit Services.

systemctl restart monit

Now you can tail monit log on /var/log/monit.log
