mail queue error

That looks all right.

You may have to restart xinetd to get the new configuration to apply.

After you did this step, did the problem get resolved?

No, now it looks NRPE: UNABLE TO READ OUTPUT.

But it's rare because if i execute on the console the nrpe command manually "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.9.110" the conection seems good, but if I execute

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H 192.168.9.110 -c check_mailq. The console shows on the screen the same than in the web interface.

Do you know why that happens? Because I have defined the command on nagios host and on the 192.168.9.110 host, on /usr/local/nagios/libexec

On the client machine, what are the permissions for /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq set to?

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq

Can you try changing the permissions to apache:nagios? This seems to be permission related.

NRPE will run as the nagios user, and because the script check_mailq is root:root on the remote server, it won't be able to execute it.

I don't have any apache group on the remote host, the nagios user is on de administrator group.

I have changed root:root to nagios:administrators and I have restarted de services, and it looks the same warning: "NRPE: Unable to read output".

What is the full output of the folder? -

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/

The longer result is about nagios host, and the shorter is about remote host

I believe the remote host has the wrong permissions for check_mailq. Try running -

Code: Select all

chown nagios:nagios check_mailq
