Go to the Monit directory /etc/monit/conf.dand create the following configuration file.

vim nginx-monit.conf

2.Add the following configuration to the nginx-monit.conf file.

check host nginx with address YourDomain.com
    if failed port 80 protocol http
        then exec "/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all=1"
    else if succeeded
        then exec "/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all=0"

In this scenario, if Nginx goes down for any reason, the corresponding command will be executed.

set daemon 5    #check services at 5 seconds intervals

4.Verify the Monit configuration syntax.

sudo monit -t

5.If the syntax is valid, restart Monit to apply the configuration changes.

sudo systemctl restart monit
