Hi,

sorry to bother, but I am new to nagios and I am having difficulties to understand what to configure on my nagios server and on my exchange host. I am using debian7 for nagios if this helps. As far as I understand I hav to use nrpe and must define an own service, right? Any help would be appreciated.

Regards, Heinzelrumpel

Few things I had to do to make the script work:
1. Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
2. check_exchange_mailqueue=cmd /c echo scriptsNagiosMonitoring_ExchangeQueueHealth.ps1; exit($lastexitcode) | PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command -

Without the -ExecutinPolicy Bypass, I got an AuthorizationManager error.
Owner's reply

Hi, yes the script need the execution policy as written inside the script. But maybe I should put a readme inside the files which can be downloaded to explain that :-).

Remeber to define the check like this, otherwise you will not get correct Exit code to nagios (critical show always as Warning).

cmd /c echo scriptsNagiosMonitoring_ExchangeQueueHealth.ps1; exit($lastexitcode) | PowerShell.exe -Command -
Is there any way to exclude dismounted DB's?

I have been looking at the Get-Queue cmdlet, but haven't found anything useful yet
Owner's reply

Hm, no not yet. I never found that useful. What is the reason for the dismounted DB?

I'm using this script to alert administrators via SMS messages (standalone postfix host) if there is any issues with the Exchange queue's. My external script in NSC.ini looks like this:

check_exchange_mailqueue=cmd /c echo C:\Scripts\Nagios\NagiosMonitoring_ExchangeQueueHealth.ps1 | PowerShell.exe -Command -
The script works great when using it on the host, but when I tried executing it using check_nrpe, I received the following error:

Add-PSSnapin : No snap-ins have been registered for Windows PowerShell version 2.

When running PowerShell scripts on Server 2008 R2 x64, the default example will run a 32bit powershell console, not the 64bit. sysnative is a virtual directory recognized by 32bit applications to launch 64bit commands. The following in the proper nsc.ini command to get this to work:

check_exchange_queue=cmd /c echo c:NagiosExchangeQueueHealth.ps1 | C:WindowssysnativeWindowsPowerShellv1.0PowerShell.exe -Command -
