Monitor POP3 services on my email servers

Question

Is it possible to monitor POP3 Services of my email using Nagios? Is there a plug in for this?

Answer 1

Hey @Jake, you can use the check_pop plugin for this purpose. A simple service definition would look something like this:

define service {
    use                 generic-service     ; Inherit default values from a template
    host_name           remotehost
    service_description POP3
    check_command       check_pop
}
