+# Monit monitoring with Netdata
+
+Monit monitoring module. Data is grabbed from stats XML interface (exists for a long time, but not mentioned in official documentation). Mostly this plugin shows statuses of monit targets, i.e. [statuses of specified checks](https://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#Service-checks).

+## Configuration
+
+Edit the `python.d/monit.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
+directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
+sudo ./edit-config python.d/monit.conf
+```
+
+Sample:
+
+```yaml
+local:
+ name : 'local'
+ url : 'http://localhost:2812'
+ user: : admin
+ pass: : monit
+```
+
+If no configuration is given, module will attempt to connect to monit as `http://localhost:2812`.
