This doesn't actually work, although you may not realise it because it *seems* to work just fine. Postfix queue directories are only readable by root and the postfix user. NRPE commands are executed by the nagios user, which cannot see inside postfix's queue directories. Normal user, shows 0 in all queues: $ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_postfix_queue OK: incoming queue messages: 0 active queue messages: 0 maildrop queue messages: 0 deferred queue messages: 0 bounce queue messages: 0 Nagios user, shows 0 in all queues: $ sudo -u nagios /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_postfix_queue OK: incoming queue messages: 0 active queue messages: 0 maildrop queue messages: 0 deferred queue messages: 0 bounce queue messages: 0 As root, reports correct numbers: $ sudo /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_postfix_queue OK: incoming queue messages: 0 active queue messages: 1358 maildrop queue messages: 0 deferred queue messages: 2922 bounce queue messages: 0
