Introduction:
This document is a draft for the next minor release of monit, monit
4.1. Each feature item is listed with the responsible for the
implementation, the current progress (the color will go from blue to
green) and how we judge the importance of this feature (high, medium,
low).
Items marked with a low importance will probably not make it
into the release. If you would like to change anything or add stuff to
the list join the mailing
lists and let us know.
Feature list:
- ICMP echo test for remote host monitoring
Possible syntax:
if failed icmp type echoRequest then alert

- HTTP request returned data checksum
It makes sense now to implement this test, because when monit was designed for
local tests only, it was possible to checksum the page or script directly in
the filesystem. It is not possible to do the same for remote hosts => it will
be usefull to support this option, something like:
if failed host my.web.org port 80 protocol http and request "/my/page.html"
with checksum 8f7f419955cefa0b33a2ba316cba3659 then alert
It will involve chunked transfer encoding implementation as discussed in the past.
