Seconded. I like the DSL, but a monitoring solution has to be unfailingly rock-solid, which God most certainly is not.

Urgh, that doesn't sound great. We haven't encountered that issue, but we also only use it for a largely inconsequential service.

I think it's a bit unfair to downvote me, the OP has posted a Poll for what people use, not what they recommend. We use God, so I've asked for God to be added to the list.

I've been using god for two years and have never had this problem, or any problem with it. Maybe the god load command has problems, but I can't think of any reason to use it. Bottom line - try a few monitoring tools out and use what works for you.

I've been seeing this problem in prod for the last 8 months, consistently. I literally have one process that doesn't start 3/4ths of the time. My start up script has to iterate through all the processes god is supposed to start and if they're not all running kill god and try to start again. Not inspiring a lot of confidence in god as a monitoring solution.

But system operators love to use God. It's that whole male ego thing.
