Hi all,
I'm a total beginner. I have set up Nagios on an Alix box running Voyage Linux (Debian Squeeze) monitoring basic services so far, HTTP, SSH, SMTP etc.
I am trying to monitor a Debian 5 server that is running saslauthd to see if this process is running. Is this possible?
I see some plugins for rpm based distros alright. Has anyone done this before?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Brien
Monitoring saslauthd on Debian 5 Server
Re: Monitoring saslauthd on Debian 5 Server
If you are just looking to check whether the process is running, the standard Nagios plugins include check_procs, which will do the job just fine.

Sorry I should have been more specific. saslauthd (sasl) seems to crash every now and again with a general protection error. The process itself keeps running.
No idea why but when the process is restarted the issue is resolved. So what I would really like to be able to do is monitor the status of the application and send an SMS if this error occurs.
I saw some saslauthd plugins for rpm but not for debian
