 ## Schedule recurring tasks
 You may want to periodically clear resolved errors to free up space.
 Schedule ```rake errbit:db:clear_resolved``` to run every day or so.
+
+
+## Monit
+If you like errbit to be monitored by monit, you'll have to install and start monit
+with http support before deploying errbit.
+In order to enable http support you have to edit the monit config file which you can
+find in `/etc/monit/monitrc` for Ubuntu and set these lines:
+```
+set httpd port 2812 and
+   use address localhost  # only accept connection from localhost
+   allow localhost
+```
+
+Next you have to add the following line to the Capfile:
+```
+require 'capistrano/puma/monit'
+```
+
+And you have to deploy the monit config with the command:
+```bash
+bundle exec cap production puma:monit:config
+```
+
+The configuration file (depending on the distro) will be generated at: `/etc/monit/conf.d/puma_errbit_production.conf`
+
+### Controlling memory usage with monit
+If you like to limit memory usage for puma and restart it in case the usage gets
+over a 2GB limit, for example, you can add at the end of the monit config file the line
+```
+if totalmem is greater than 2048 MB for 3 cycles then restart
+```
+
+The config file will look like:
+
+```
+# Monit configuration for Puma
+# Service name: puma_errbit_production
+#
+check process puma_errbit_production
+  with pidfile "/var/www/apps/errbit/shared/tmp/pids/puma.pid"
+  start program = "/usr/bin/sudo -u root /bin/bash -c 'cd /var/www/apps/errbit/current && /usr/bin/env bundle exec puma -C /var/www/apps/errbit/shared/puma.rb --daemon'"
+  stop program = "/usr/bin/sudo -u root /bin/bash -c 'cd /var/www/apps/errbit/current && /usr/bin/env bundle exec pumactl -S /var/www/apps/errbit/shared/tmp/pids/puma.state stop'"
+  if totalmem is greater than 2048 MB for 3 cycles then restart
+```
