This document describes a Nagios plugin — a "Xen Virtual Machine Monitor" which can be easily integrated in an existing Nagios system environment.

This Script is coded to install the latest Nagios-Version (CVS) and the Nagios Plugins 1.4.11 automatically! It's meant to be a help for testing, searching bugs or simply to install Nagios and the Plugins without harking back to the Ubuntu-Package. First the dependencies will be fixed, missing packages will be installed via apt. The next step is adding the groups and user which are necessary for Nagios. After that the latest Nagios Tarball will be downloaded and installed. If errors occur while the installation process you have to kill the script (Ctrl c) and fix it manually. After that you can run the script again. Then the standard-user (named "nagios") for the Frontend will be created and you will be asked to set a password for it. Done, Nagios is installed. Now the plugins are going to be installed. Same procedure, downloading, configuring, installing. I tried to meet all requirements, so that every plugin will be compiled, but i did'nt check it. Have fun.

The check_email_delivery plugin allows you to send an email message and then check that it was received. This is also called checking an email loop. This is accomplished through two additional plugins (included), called check_smtp_send and check_imap_receive. As of version 0.5, you can also use other plugins to do create the loop. This project includes: check_smtp_send - connects to an SMTP server and sends a message check_imap_receive - connects to and searches an IMAP account for messages check_email_delivery - sends email and verifies delivery using other plugins You can use check_smtp_send and check_imap_receive independently, and you can use check_email_delivery to check that an email loop is working.

This plugin is written in python and does two things each time it runs : 1 - Sends an email containing an id to a specified address, and stores the id to a specified file. 2 - Checks a specified pop3 account to see if the previous message was received. Usage : --relay --popserver --popuser --poppassword --to --from --idfile
