Cant show exim queue

[pianunix]

Hi,

Is there any clue about this error :

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H server43012x -c check_exim
Mailqueue WARNING - query returned no output!

Pleas give us a clue about this ?

Thanks.

Yes. It is most likely the same error you reported in http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 8&start=10.

Hi,

I think centos wont recognize the nagios user

Code: Select all

su -l -c "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_eximqueue -w 30 -c 50"  nagios 
This account is currently not available

but why the id of group was created ?

Code: Select all

]# id nagios
uid=496(nagios) gid=497(nagios) groups=497(nagios)

Code: Select all

 grep -ri 'nagios' /etc/passwd
nagios:x:496:497::/var/spool/nagios:/sbin/nologin

And when i executed as root the command was running just fine

Code: Select all

# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_eximqueue -w 30 -c 50
Mailqueue CRITICAL - 71 messages on queue

This is the exact same problem as your other one. You need to add the sudo command to your NRPE configuration (and possible your sudoers file).

Still wont work at all.

Another solution ?

Hi,

Is there any clue that i can use check_mailq command on exim that using cPanel ?

[eloyd]

Don't know anything about cPanel. Still thinking about options for you.

Right know i'm stil using this modul to show exim queue, but only work on host server

Code: Select all

 /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_eximqueue -w 30 -c 50
Mailqueue WARNING - 45 messages on queue

but when trying to show from host monitor, we get output error like this :

Code: Select all

# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H server43012x -c check_exim
NRPE: Unable to read output

This issue still wont solve, even i had fixed the permission nagios user, and also adding group exim to nagios but still cant work at all.

Is there any solution or clue about this ?

Thx

Nagios user on remote host needs a valid login shell, not disabled:

nagios496:497::/var/spool/nagios:/sbin/nologin

pianunix, haven't heard from you in a while. Did eloyd's advice help?
