Hi All

We have an AIX system which runs 6-7 processes which communicate between them using ipc.Now the message queues store messages and gets filled over time.We need to monitor these message queues.Is that possible??

Digitalvenom,

If you haven't seen this doc:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... Nagios.pdf

Is a good read. And to address your point, I cannot find any check for ipc on the exchange, if viewing the ipcs is trivial from the command line it would be very easy to write a script to do what you want, and then use NRPE (as given in the doc above) to send the results of the script back to Nagios.
