Monitoring Zimbra servers using Nagios

[Blu3yy]

Good Afternoon!

I am looking to monitor our Zimbra servers using Nagios 3.2.3

* running services
* diskspace
* mail queues (inbound/outbound/deferred)

Any tips/tricks about getting this setup would be greatly appreciated..



I currently have Nagios Server 3.2.3 setup on a Ubuntu 10.04 Server monitoring 40+ network devices.

On the Mail server side I am only monitoring the following (but would like to expand the monitoring to detect intrusions or malfunctions)
* Root partition size
* SMTP
* Total Processes
* PING

I tried the following:
edit
vi /usr/local/nagios/libexec/utils.pm

remove
$PATH_TO_MAILQ = "/usr/bin/mailq";

Add
$PATH_TO_MAILQ ="/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/mailq";

Test
/usr/local/nagios/libexec# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1 -w 100 -c 150

Error
root@Nagi:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq 10.0.0.251 -w 100 -c 150
ERROR: /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/mailq is not executable by (uid 0:gid(0 0))

/etc/sudoers
-r--r----- 1 root root 811 2011-03-24 15:34 /etc/sudoers


((and this is where I am currently stuck --> I'd GREATLY Appreciate your help))

What version of zimbra?

Using 6.0.x your steps work for me.

root@email:/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin#mailq
/var/spool/mqueue is empty
                Total requests: 0


root@email:/usr/local/nagios/libexec#/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -w 100 -c 300
OK: mailq is empty|unsent=0;100;300;0

On my system "/opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/mailq" is a link to the current version of postfix sendmail with 777 permissions and root root ownership.

@jrefl5 - thanks for you reply.

I'm using Zimbra 6.0.1 Mail Servers - I am trying to monitor my Zimbra servers from my Nagios Box (not on the same server - sorry I should have specified this).

I tested from both the local box, and from my Nagios box.

Both appear to work.
Check perms for mailq link in /opt/zimbra/postfix

ls -l /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/mailq
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 Nov 23 06:28 /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/mailq ->
