Monit is a AGPL 3.0 licensed process supervision monitoring agent for Unix/Linux. It has the ability to preform user-defined actions based on the state of its host. The default polling ‘cycle’ is 30 seconds which is adjustable. It has a space usage test, eg: /etc/monit.d/stor-sdb1.conf check filesystem storfs with path /mnt/stor every 2 cycles # poll every 1 min group storage group stor start program = "/bin/mount -a /dev/sdb1 /mnt/stor" stop program = "/b…

Just as Kopia has actions extensibility via scripts Monit can be augmented by sh.
