+# monit
+
+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).
