Thanks! now the question is how to do this check_mailq and get the thing to send. I guess a simple bash script will take case of this... -h <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">Hari Sekhon </pre> Hari Sekhon wrote: <blockquote cite="mid456C8E84.3000709@googlemail.com" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-15" http-equiv="Content-Type"> hmm, the plugin is the check_mailq plugin, which outputs the following: /usr/nagios/libexec/check_mailq -M postfix -w 500 -c 1000 OK: mailq (33) is below threshold (500/1000)|unsent=33;500;1000;0 Thanks, after pulling my hair out trying to understand this I feel like I have a lead again...

I have made the passwords for both the client and server the same. The ports are default. I am using the client as follows check_test | send_nsca -H server -c /etc/nagios/send_nsca.cfg 0 data packet(s) sent to host successfully. At first I thought it might be passwords so I've tried 3 different ones on both sides, matched them exactly and eventually reduced then to 8 chars to be safe. Then I put encryption=0 on both sides to try to see if even this would work, but it didn't, same result. So I netcatted the port on the server and got the following junk back: # nc server 5667 ¶DEwu b àä0Ø»£ß¿á àSE±�ÌCø¥[aà¥åWZb#:FS÷ñÁÙû¢-@SÇ ffèx ÍÏ('2Lay�t{�f=qaß�¢3e¯�qµ�×�O(RPzQ�ÜË<PFÔ·�Ecã¼�Il-º!Ê'>Oáf¡El�k^[[?1;2c # telnet server 5667 Trying 192.168.1.89...

What on earth is going on with NSCA? I thought encryption=0 would send cleartext? Any ideas?
