Nagios/Icinga plugin to check amavisd-new daemon

check_amavis checks if amavisd-new daemon is working and if its antivirus engine is working.

This check talks with amavisd-new daemon (default port is 10024) with SMTP protocol. It tests if the daemon is up and if it's able to scan an email with a virus (EICAR test virus is sent).

Please note that if amavisd-new is run on a different machine, you should enable the connection from nagios ip address (take a look at amavisd.conf).

This Perl script needs GetOpt::Long, MIME::Tools and Net::SMTP to work.

Parameters:

• --server amavisd-new address (mandatory)
• --port amavisd-new port (default 10024)
• --from sender email address (mandatory)
• --to recipient address (if not present copied from --from)
• --debug useful for debugging (launch it at command line)

Command configuration:

define command {
    command_name check_amavis
    command_line $USER1$/check_amavis.pl --server $HOSTADDRESS$ --from email_address --to email_address --port 10024
}

where email_address is a valid email address handled by amavisd.
