Plugins for queue email

When you execute this command on the remote server:

# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mailq -w 200 -c 400 -M qmail
CRITICAL: mailq is 558 (threshold c = 400)|unsent=558;200;400;0

It looks as though you are running as root.

Try running as nagios instead:

Code: Select all

su -l -c "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mailq -w 200 -c 400 -M qmail" nagios

Still won't work at all.

Code: Select all

# su -l -c "/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mailq -w 200 -c 400 -M qmail" nagios
#

Then that is your problem. The nagios user cannot run the command. You will need to provide sudo access to nagios to be able to execute this command and then update your nrpe.cfg file to onclude the "sudo".

Hi,

Okay this problem has been fixed.

Thanks

Great! Just so others who may have the same problem can know for sure, was it the sudo that fixed it?

[pianunix]

Hi,

yup i just added "sudo" into the nrpe.cfg

Code: Select all

command[check_mailq]=sudo /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mailq -w200 -c500 -M qmail
