# 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). 1. **Filesystems** - Filesystems - Directories - Files - Pipes 2. **Applications** - Processes (+threads/childs) - Programs 3. **Network** - Hosts (+latency) - Network interfaces ## 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`. --- [](<>)
