mail queue error

[RubenLatorre]

Ok I have done that:

1st) I have gone to nrpe.cfg file and I add the remote host ip on the part of allowed_hosts.

2nd) I have defined the check_mailq command on the nrpe.cfg file.

3rd) I have definded the command nrpe, on the commands.cfg.

4th) I have defined de service, on the services.cfg file.

5th) I have done a service nagios restart.

And finaly on my web monitoring interface says to me, that the command is not definded.

To clarify, what server did you add the command[check_mailq]= part (the part you highlighted)?

If it was on the client machine, did you restart the NRPE / xinetd service?

I put that on the nagios host, Have I put it on the remote host I want to monitor?

The thing is that if I log me on the remote server via putty, and y put the mailq command on the command line, it returns me the correct information, but I want to see that information on the nagios web interface

Yes, put it on the remote host you'd like to monitor. Then restart the NRPE / xinetd service.

What will then happen is Nagios will call the check_mailq command on your client machine, then the client machine will execute the check_mailq plugin and send the data back to the Nagios server.

Have I to put it only on the nrpe.cfg host remote file or in someone else?

Because there are other files about nrpe

[rkennedy]

What is in the folder above? This looks like the sample config folder.

On the second file for example, there is a part that seems like that

[rkennedy]

Those are the sample files, not the actual configuration. That is why I asked what is in the directory above.

The directory above is this, and I was on the yellow directory

It doesn't look like NRPE is compiled - did you compile it yet?

Here's a document that explains how to configure / compile NRPE -
