Qmail queue Monitoring error in Nagios

Hello Frnds,

I have one Qmail server installed in the organizations and i want to monitor it via Nagios useing NRPE2. i run below command on Nagios to monitor it.

Quote:

/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_nrpe2 -H NAMEOFQMAILSERVER -c check_qmailq

But it shows below error message.

Quote:

check_qmailq CRITICAL: Unable to open directory '/var/qmail/queue/local': Permission denied

I am not able to understand what is the reason behind this error message. it was working before but suddenly stops working.

Please help me to sorted out this issue.

Thank You in Advance,

You can start with running a check on /var/qmail/queue/local directory on qmail server using 'ls -l'.

Hello Coolsg5636,

Thanks for the reply.

The issue is resolved. It was an directory permission issue of qmail and i just changed the directory permission of '/var/qmail/queue/local' to 755, i also added nagios user in qmail group and its working for me. Now i am able to run check_qmailq command successfully on nagios and it shows me qmail queues.

Thank You,
