Post by plakshmi »

Team,

We are trying to monitor postfix service running on one of our nagios server. Can you please let us know how we can monitor it?

Here's the postfix section on our Nagios Exchange plugins page:

Then our doc on installing and managing plugins:

Sorry. This is not service monitoring but process monitoring of postfix on nagios server. We accomplished this using check_procs plugin.

check_command check_local_procs_no_warning!1:1!/usr/libexec/postfix/master

check_local_procs_no_warning: $USER1$/check_procs -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
