Sendmail

[noodle48]

I wanted to know if there was a sendmail plugin. I have a server running the sendmail process and just need a check to make sure if its up and running. I can't seem to find a good sendmail plugin. The server I need to monitor will be running AIX 5.3. All I would really need is a ps -ef | grep sendmail type of plugin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I use the check_smtp plugin. It is better than just checking to make sure there is a sendmail process running.

The check_email_delivery plugin will monitor the whole delivery process. It not only checks that the server is responding correctly, but also that mail can be sent and received successfully.

Otherwise, check_procs is the plugin that you described in your post, if all you really want is to make sure the process is running. It's a standard Nagios plugin.

Thanks I will use the snmp plugin. Also, with this plugin is there a way I can have it monitor just 1 host under a hostgroup or will I need to create another hostgroup?

Will open another thread.
