Nagios Support Forum

I recently started to receive my nagios notification as .bin files as attachments. They used to come into my email as regular text. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thank you!

What nagios version are you using?
Have you made any changes to contacts or notifications recently?
Any new hosts/services that might have odd characters in their status?

Hi, thank you for getting back so quickly. Im using 3.4.1 and havent made any changes to anything...all my other checks show the details within the body of the email except this one...not sure why...thx in advance for any help!

btw..is a check_disk_smb check...thx~~

Can you run the check from the cli and post the check and output here? Additionally, can you post an example email (obfuscate sensitive bits)?

Sure can! Check is as follows:
[root@svr002 libexec]# ./check_disk_smb -H stor2 -s nagios -u nagios -p smbMonit0r -w 80 -c 90

Absolutely nothing in the body of the email...when I open the .bin file it shows me exactly what I need to see IN the body of the email
Thx!

I think abrist wanted the .bin file and I tend to agree. I have seen issues where different line endings can cause your mail agent to think the email is an attachment, so we'd like to look at the email itself.

Ofcourse Im so sorry...here it is...I changed the .bin to .txt

Is this with all of your SMB checks or just this specific one? There is an odd character that might be tricking your agent into making it a .bin file.

Just with this one only...

May I ask what the odd character is? Thanks much!
