Monit Service Monitor Block for Docker Container

monit_block_for_docker_container

# Inside main monitrc

# Check that services are running and also define start and stop commands for them. 
# You will need one of these for each container 
# as well as working out a restarting and/or red
eploying workflow.

check process <container-name> with pidfile /var/run/monit/<container-name>.pid
  start = "/path/to/pid/script start <container-name> '<docker-arguments>'"
  stop = "/path/to/pid/script stop <container-name>"
  if does not exist then alert
  if cpu equal 0%
    and memory equal 0kB
    for 5 cycles then alert

To clarify, the /path/to/pid/script should refer to the PID Wrapper for Docker and Monit.
