Configure apigee-monit with mTLS

The apigee-monit tool periodically polls Edge services; if a service is unavailable, then apigee-monit attempts to restart it. With Apigee mTLS, apigee-monit checks the status of consul_server, consul_egress, and the ingress proxies in addition to the usual Edge services.

Before you can use apigee-monit with mTLS, you must change the owner of the tool to root. To do this, execute the following commands on each node in the cluster:

/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-monit stop
/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-monit chown root root
/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-monit start
