Nagios Support Forum

Hi

Is there any documentation on how to configure Nagios to connect to our Postfix Servers and send emails over a TLS connection At present I get the following message

Mailer said (date Time} SMTP connect () failed. https://giyhub.com/PHPMailer/wikiTroubleshooting (method=smtp;host=POSTFIXSERVER01;port=587;security=tls), Referer:admin/testmail.php
An error occured sending a test email

Thanks

This document may be helpful:

Hi Jeffrey

Thanks I did see tat Doc alright but I was looking more information on the UserId that is required
I take it that's a local account on the Postfix Server itself but is there any special level of access that it needs or is it just a standard userid

Thanks

Hi Jeffrey

I enabled the PHPMailer - Troubleshooting Using Debug Logging

and this is the output, if this helps any, on the Postfix Servers we are using Selfsigned Certs

Hi Jeffrey
Now when I put the email back to Port 25 and Security none I am still getting the same message

What PHP version are you running?
For TLS 1.2 you need to be on at least PHP 5.6:

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... 7-860.html

What do you have set for public $SMTPAutoTLS in your /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php file around line 260?

What is the output of this command?

Hi Sean

I have attached a Text file with the output from the commands you have asked me to run

PHP Version is 5.4.16

I get different responces when checking the the openssl command against the Postfix Servers and the VIP that they are a member of

Thanks

Sorry Sean
tried to be proactive and upgrade php to 7.4

[root@dwylbopngios02 ~]# php -v
PHP 7.4.11 (cli) (built: Sep 29 2020 10:17:06) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.4.0, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root


But now the only things showing Green in Nagios Admin is
Monitoring Engine
Performance Grapher

All the others are showing as Red

Was this a copy/paste error? You list this in your output (misspelled false):
But it should be this:
Try editing your /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and add this:
Then restart httpd:
Then test again.

Please send me a copy of your profile, you can download it from Admin > System Profile by clicking the Download Profile button.

If you're unable to generate the the profile through the web interface, please try generating it from the command line by running these commands as root:
Then send me the resulting /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/profile.zip​ file.​

If the profile script fails, please include the ENTIRE output.

Hi Sean

yes that was a typo on my side,
This is set correctly now
260 public $SMTPAutoTLS = false;


This setting was already present in the /etc/openldap/ldap.conf file
TLS_REQCERT allow

When I tried to Download the Profile all I got was this message

PROFILE BUILD FAILED

Array
(
)

CODE: 1

Find attached the Profile and a Screenshot of our Admin Page

Thanks
