Ubuntu server with Nagios LogServer

[hcltech]

We noticed from logwatch that we are getting the following errors in our logs since installing Nagios and didn't know if anyone else was seeing this. Cannot exec /usr/sbin/sensible-mda: No such file or directory 31522 Times

Wow. How much time does it take to ramp up to 31522 attempts to run that particular application? According to the package manager, that's a mail delivery agent, but as far as I know it's not used in any Nagios products. Are there any 3rd party applications installed on the Nagios server?

[hcltech]

No its a base install with just nagios installed on it. it can send out test emails but just not sure why we are seeing this now.

Does installing the sensible-mda package fix the issue?

Code: Select all

apt-get install sensible-mda

[hcltech]

It might just not sure i want to install more mail stuff

The following additional packages will be installed:
procmail
The following NEW packages will be installed:
procmail sensible-mda

[hcltech]

I went ahead and installed sendmail which included this package as well. I will let it go for a few days and report back if it fixed the issue.
