[Mongrel] mongrel, monit, and the many, many messages

[Greg Willits]

Thanks for the ideas so far. I'll look into the latest monit. Message 
(A) is starting to look like a monit crash to me. It is always followed 
by a bunch of similar messages that monit maybe stopping/starting all 
the mongrels.

looks like the logs have little or no date/time stamps, so they're 
semi-useless in trying to correlate to the email alerts.

I do have some requests that can take a while to process (depends on 
response time from external services), so that's a valid lead.

I have looked everywhere I can think of, and I don't see any mention of 
this timeout value anywhere in Mongrel docs. This page 
(http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/howto.html) mentions a -t (timeout), 
but the description doesn't match what you're referring to. It looks 
like a delay between the end of responding to request A and starting to 
handle request B, not when to give up on A.

I guess I'll assume the 60 secs, and play with monit accordingly.
