check_zmstatus

This plugin check the state of the zimbra services, asking directly to the zmcointrol status, through zimbra user.

Original taken from http://blog.schose.net/index.php/archives/135 and fixed issue with spaces in service names.

Installation

We need to execute some additional commands, we need to put in the suoders file the next sentence /etc/sudoers :

%nagios ALL=(zimbra) NOPASSWD:/opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol

And, in our nrpe.cfg file the next:

[root@zimbra ~]# vim /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
command[check_zmstatus]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_zmstatus.pl -b $ARG1$
[root@zimbra ~]# service nrpe restart

Now, in our Nagios server, this:

root@srvnagios:~# vim /etc/nagios3/conf.d/services_nagios2.cfg
define service {
  use generic-service
  hostgroup_name zimbra-servers
  service_description Zimbra Status
  check_command check_nrpe_zimbra
}

And we need to add the next in our commands.cfg file:

define command{
  command_name check_nrpe_zimbra
  command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_zmstatus -u
}
