        username "myemail" password "mypswd"
        using tlsv1
        with timeout 30 seconds

set httpd port 2812 and
        use address myurldns.net
        allow myurldns.net
        allow admin:monit

check system localhost
        if loadavg (1min) > 4 then alert
        if loadavg (5min) > 2 then alert
        if memory usage > 75% then alert
        if cpu usage (user) > 70% then alert
        if cpu usage (system) > 30% then alert
        if cpu usage (wait) > 20% then alert

The error log can display notifications as well. Does the intended task actually work as you want it to, even with this message? For example, Apache says stuff like "Apache started on port 80" and "starting child threads" and such. Not a big deal, since it's only notifying you.
