# yum-plugin-monit
yum plugin to temporarily deactivate monit during package installs / updates / removals.
# Installation
```bash
make install
```
# Uninstallation
```bash
make uninstall
```
# Build RPM
```bash
rpmbuild --undefine=_disable_source_fetch -ba yum-plugin-monit.spec
```
# How It Works
The plugin uses two hooks:
* `pretrans_hook` which fires right before the transaction; this hook function stops monit (using `systemctl`)
* `posttrans_hook` which fires after the transaction is completed; this function starts monit (using `systemctl`)
# Why
Consider the following configuration:
```
check file sshd_bin with path /usr/sbin/sshd
if failed checksum then unmonitor
if failed permission 755 then unmonitor
if failed uid root then unmonitor
if failed gid root then unmonitor
```
Everything works untils you update `openssh-server` package: when `/usr/sbin/sshd` is replaced with a new version,
this triggers `if failed checksum then unmonitor` rule, and ssh is no longer monitored.
With this plugin, monit is stoped before the transaction is run and started again after the transaction is completed.
Upon start, monit recaluclates all checksums and therefore `sshd` is not get unmonitored.
