Nagios Support Forum

Thank you rkennedy.

I appreciate all your help. I consider this thread closed and will open another one if I need any additional help.

Hello, I am needing to write a script, (I wrote it in bourne shell but need to re-write it in perl) to check to use mailq to see the message count and if it is over the warning or critcal thresh hold, then print a custom error or warning message depending on if it is a warning or critical or unknown...

Hello, One last question,it would seem to me that -l "text" wouldn't dynamically change for the various exit codes. examples: Message queue OK: Message Count Message Queue Warning: Message Count Message Queue Critical: Message count I think I would have to write a shell script or perl scri...

Thanks!

I will try that if my script doesn't work. I'm testing it now.

Hello,

I think so, I am working on writing my own wrapper to check_snmp so I can get a custom message and message count into nagios. (like check_qmailq)

other than that, it is just which 32 is the message count, but not very descriptive with SNMP critical.

I found out how to define my own definition, now I can get it in a format like this: even figured out the error I was getting when restarting!

But th...

Hello rkennedy, Thanks for your help, I found that I can snmpwalk via DNS name but not IP address. This made me think that I should try it again with check_snmp with DNS name (I had been with IP address only). However, it still failed. I tried adding -t 200, but still failed. Here is my snmpwalk com...

Hello, I am completely new to setting up nagios to monitor snmpd. I have a freebsd nagios box and centos machine running snmpd. I used the exec to run check_mailq on the centos machine. I can use snmpwalk/snmpget to query it, but when I check_snmp found in nagios, it just gets plugin time out error....
