I have my mongodb database in other server. This is my monit file:

check process mongodb
  with pidfile "/var/lib/mongodb/mongod.lock"
  start program = "/sbin/start mongodb"
  stop program = "/sbin/stop mongodb"
  if failed host 111.111.111.111 port 28017 protocol http
    and request "/" with timeout 10 seconds then restart
  if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

However I get Execution failed or Not monitored.

Thank you!

Are you sure about pidfile here?
On my ubuntu server, mongodb installed from 10gen repo, pidfile location is /var/run/mongodb.pid

I had same issue like above - Monit cannot read mongod.lock file...

So I moddified config and this one works for me:

check process mongod matching "/usr/bin/mongod"
   group database
   start program = "/sbin/start mongod"
   stop  program = "/sbin/stop mongod"
   if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 27017 protocol http
     and request "/" with timeout 10 seconds then restart
   if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout

(Ubuntu 14.04, MongoDb 2.6.6, Monit 5.6)
