Hi

I am using cloud foundry -231 and have created a bosh release of a job, which takes long time (more than 5 mins) to complete.

During bosh deploy, sometimes the job fails. On observing the monit log, the bosh checks the pid every 30 secs and reports error and retries after 10 secs. After retrying 6/7 times, the job fails.
Just after the job has failed, the job is completed successfully and all the process is running in the bosh vm.

So I increased the timeout of the monit process to 90 secs instead of default 30sec. Now the bosh checks for the pid file (every 90 secs) but only thrice(not 7 or 8 times as before) and reports failure, though .

Pls suggest me how can I control the monit of the bosh vm in cloud foundry to wait until the job completes. Please note this issue doesnt happen always..

Hi,

You may consider putting your long running script in pre-start. Please
check this. https://bosh.io/docs/pre-start.html
