Hi,

I have Pi-hole installed on my RPi3 together with Domoticz. I use Monit to monitor the status of Domoticz so it will restart in case of problems. I would like to do the same with Pi-hole. I have successfully added Pi-hole FTL to Monit but don't know which services I need to add to monitrc and what syntax I need for DHCP.

Any help appreciated! 🙂

Anyone able to shed some light? I don't need a step by step but a hint which pid's I need to use would be appreciated 😉

I havne't used those tools, but the key daemons for Pi-hole are dnsmasq, lighttpd, and FTL (you can find the PID in `/run/pihole-FTL.pid`).

Hi Mcat12,

Tx! I will add dnsmasq and lighttpd to Monit (FTL was already added 🙂 )
