=head1 NAME
check_imap_receive - connects to and searches an IMAP account for messages
=head1 SYNOPSIS
check_imap_receive -vV
check_imap_receive -?
check_imap_receive --help
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item --warning <seconds>
Warn if it takes longer than <seconds> to connect to the IMAP server. Default is 15 seconds.
Also known as: -w <seconds>
=item --critical <seconds>
Return a critical status if it takes longer than <seconds> to connect to the IMAP server. Default is 30 seconds.
See also: --capture-critical <messages>
Also known as: -c <seconds>
=item --timeout <seconds>
Abort with critical status if it takes longer than <seconds> to connect to the IMAP server. Default is 60 seconds.
The difference between timeout and critical is that, with the default settings, if it takes 45 seconds to
connect to the server then the connection will succeed but the plugin will return CRITICAL because it took longer
than 30 seconds.
Also known as: -t <seconds>
=item --imap-check-interval <seconds>
How long to wait after searching for a matching message before searching again. Only takes effect
if no messages were found. Default is 5 seconds.
=item --imap-retries <number>
How many times to try searching for a matching message before giving up. If you set this to 0 then
messages will not be searched at all. Setting this to 1 means the plugin only tries once. Etc.
Default is 10 times.
=item --hostname <server>
Address or name of the IMAP server. Examples: mail.server.com, localhost, 192.168.1.100
Also known as: -H <server>
=item --port <number>
Service port on the IMAP server. Default is 143. If you use SSL, default is 993.
Also known as: -p <number>
=item --username <username>
=item --password <password>
Username and password to use when connecting to IMAP server.
Also known as: -U <username> -P <password>
=item --mailbox <mailbox>
Use this option to specify the mailbox to search for messages. Default is INBOX.
Also known as: -m <mailbox>
=item --search <string>
Use this option to filter the messages. Default is not to filter. You may (must) use this option
multiple times in order to create any valid IMAP search criteria. See the examples and see also
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2060.txt (look for section 6.4.4, the SEARCH command)
This is the way to find messages matching a given subject:
-s SUBJECT -s "a given subject"
You can use the following technique for any header, including Subject. To find "Header-Name: some value":
-s HEADER -s Header-Name -s "some value"
Modern IMAP servers that support rfc5032 extensions allow you to search for messages
older or younger than a number of seconds. So to find messages received in the past hour,
you can do:
-s YOUNGER -s 3600
Or to find messages received more than 5 minutes ago, you can do:
-s OLDER -s 300
Also known as: -s <string>
=item --download
=item --nodownload
This option causes all messages in the specified mailbox to be downloaded from the server
and searched locally. See --download-max if you only want to download a few messages.
Currently only the following RFC 2060 search criteria are supported:
TEXT, BODY, SUBJECT, HEADER, NOT, OR, SENTBEFORE, SENTON, SENTSINCE.
Requires Email::Simple to be installed. It is available on CPAN.
This option may be particularly useful to you if your mail server is slow to index
messages (like Exchange 2003), causing the plugin not to find them with IMAP SEARCH
even though they are in the inbox.
It's also useful if you're searching for messages that have been on the server for a
specified amount of time, like some minutes or hours, because the standard IMAP search
function only allows whole dates. For this, use the standard search keywords but you
can specify either just a date like in RFC 2060 or a date and a time.
If you use SENTBEFORE, SENTON, or SENTSINCE, you must have Date::Manip installed
on your system.
=item --download-max
Limits the number of messages downloaded from the server when the --download option is used.
Default is to download and search all messages.
=item --search-critical-min <messages>
This option will trigger a CRITICAL status if the number of messages found by the search criteria
is below the given number. Use in conjunction with --search.
This parameter defaults to 1 so that if no messages are found, the plugin will exit with a CRITICAL status.
If you want the original behavior where the plugin exits with a WARNING status when no messages are found,
set this parameter to 0.
=item --search-critical-max <messages>
This option will trigger a CRITICAL status if the number of messages found by the search criteria
is above the given number. Use in conjunction with --search.
This parameter defaults to -1 meaning it's disabled. If you set it to 10, the plugin will exit with
CRITICAL if it finds 11 messages. If you set it to 1, the plugin will exit with CRITICAL if it finds
any more than 1 message. If you set it to 0, the plugin will exit with CRITICAL if it finds any messages
at all. If you set it to -1 it will be disabled.
=item --search-warning-min <messages>
This option will trigger a WARNING status if the number of messages found by the search criteria
is below the given number. Use in conjunction with --search.
This parameter defaults to 1 so that if no messages are found, the plugin will exit with a WARNING status.
If you want to suppress the original behavior where the plugin exits with a WARNING status when no messages are found,
set this parameter to 0. When this parameter is 0, it means that you expect the mailbox not to have any messages.
=item --search-warning-max <messages>
This option will trigger a WARNING status if the number of messages found by the search criteria
is above the given number. Use in conjunction with --search.
This parameter defaults to -1 meaning it's disabled. If you set it to 10, the plugin will exit with
WARNING if it finds 11 messages. If you set it to 1, the plugin will exit with WARNING if it finds
any more than 1 message. If you set it to 0, the plugin will exit with WARNING if it finds any messages
at all. If you set it to -1 it will be disabled.
=item --capture-max <regexp>
In addition to specifying search arguments to filter the emails in the IMAP account, you can specify
a "capture-max" regexp argument and the eligible emails (found with search arguments)
will be compared to each other and the OK line will have the highest captured value.
The regexp is expected to capture a numeric value.
=item --capture-min <regexp>
In addition to specifying search arguments to filter the emails in the IMAP account, you can specify
a "capture-min" regexp argument and the eligible emails (found with search arguments)
will be compared to each other and the OK line will have the lowest captured value.
The regexp is expected to capture a numeric value.
=item --delete
=item --nodelete
Use the delete option to delete messages that matched the search criteria. This is useful for
preventing the mailbox from filling up with automated messages (from the check_smtp_send plugin, for example).
THE DELETE OPTION IS TURNED *ON* BY DEFAULT, in order to preserve compatibility with an earlier version.
Use the nodelete option to turn off the delete option.
=item --nodelete-captured
If you use both the capture-max and delete arguments, you can also use the nodelete-captured argument to specify that the email
with the highest captured value should not be deleted. This leaves it available for comparison the next time this plugin runs.
If you do not use the delete option, this option has no effect.
=item --ssl
=item --nossl
Enable SSL protocol. Requires IO::Socket::SSL.
Using this option automatically changes the default port from 143 to 993. You can still
override this from the command line using the --port option.
Use the nossl option to turn off the ssl option.
=item --ssl-ca-file
Use this to verify the server SSL certificate against a local .pem file. You'll need to
specify the path to the .pem file as the parameter.
You can use the imap_ssl_cert utility included in this distribution to connect to your IMAP
server and save its SSL certificates into your .pem file. Usage is like this:
imap_ssl_cert -H imap.server.com > ca_file.pem
Only applicable when --ssl option is enabled.
=item --template
=item --notemplate
Enable (or disable) processing of IMAP search parameters. Requires Text::Template and Date::Manip.
Use this option to apply special processing to IMAP search parameters that allows you to use the
results of arbitrary computations as the parameter values. For example, you can use this feature
to search for message received up to 4 hours ago.
Modern IMAP servers that support rfc5032 extensions allow searching with the YOUNGER and OLDER
criteria so a message received up to 4 hours ago is -s YOUNGER -s 14400. But if your mail server
doesn't support that, you could use the --template option to get similar functionality.
When you enable the --template option, each parameter you pass to the -s option is parsed by
Text::Template. See the Text::Template manual for more information, but in general any expression
written in Perl will work.
A convenience function called rfc2822dateHeader is provided to you so you can easily compute properly
formatted dates for use as search parameters. The rfc2822date function can take one or two
parameters itself: the date to format and an optional offset. To use the current time as a
search parameter, you can write this:
$ check_imap_receive ... --template -s HEADER -s Delivery-Date -s '{rfc2822dateHeader("now")}'
The output of {rfc2822dateHeader("now")} looks like this: Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:44:03 -0700 and
is suitable for use with a date header, like HEADER Delivery-Date.
To use a time in the past relative to the current time or day, you can use a second convenience function
called rfc2822date and write this:
$ check_imap_receive ... --template -s SENTSINCE -s '{rfc2822date("now","-1 day")}'
The output of {rfc2822date("now","-1 day")} looks like this: 29-Sep-2009 and is suitable for use
with BEFORE, ON, SENTBEFORE, SENTON, SENTSINCE, and SINCE.
I have seen some email clients use a different format in the Date field,
like September 17, 2009 9:46:51 AM PDT. To specify an arbitrary format like this one, write this:
$ check_imap_receive ... --template -s HEADER -s Delivery-Date -s '{date("%B %e, %Y %i:%M:%S %p %Z","now","-4 hours")}'
You can use BEFORE, ON, SENTBEFORE, SENTON, SENTSINCE, or SINCE to search for messages that arrived
on, before, or after a given day but not on, before, or after a specific time on that day.
To search for messages that arrived on, before, or after a specific time you have to use the
Delivery-Date or another date field, like with -s HEADER -s Delivery-Date in the example above.
See the Date::Manip manual for more information on the allowed expressions for date and delta strings.
=item --hires
Use the Time::HiRes module to measure time, if available.
=item --verbose
Display additional information. Useful for troubleshooting. Use together with --version to see the default
warning and critical timeout values.
If the selected mailbox was not found, you can use verbosity level 3 (-vvv) to display a list of all
available mailboxes on the server.
Also known as: -v
=item --version
Display plugin version and exit.
Also known as: -V
=item --help
Display this documentation and exit. Does not work in the ePN version.
Also known as: -h
=item --usage
Display a short usage instruction and exit.
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
=head2 Report how many emails are in the mailbox
$ check_imap_receive -H mail.server.net --username mailuser --password mailpass
-s ALL --nodelete
IMAP RECEIVE OK - 1 seconds, 7 found
=head2 Report the email with the highest value
Suppose your mailbox has some emails from an automated script and that a message
from this script typically looks like this (abbreviated):
To: mailuser@server.net
From: autoscript@server.net
Subject: Results of Autoscript
Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2005 08:30:40 -0800
Message-ID: <auto-000000992528@server.net>
Homeruns 5
And further suppose that you are interested in reporting the message that has the
highest number of home runs, and also to leave this message in the mailbox for future
checks, but remove the other matching messages with lesser values:
$ check_imap_receive -H mail.server.net --username mailuser --password mailpass
-s SUBJECT -s "Results of Autoscript" --capture-max "Homeruns (\d+)" --nodelete-captured
IMAP RECEIVE OK - 1 seconds, 3 found, 1 captured, 5 max, 2 deleted
=head2 Troubleshoot your search parameters
Add the --nodelete and --imap-retries=1 parameters to your command line.
=head1 EXIT CODES
Complies with the Nagios plug-in specification:
0 OK The plugin was able to check the service and it appeared to be functioning properly
1 Warning The plugin was able to check the service, but it appeared to be above some "warning" threshold or did not appear to be working properly
2 Critical The plugin detected that either the service was not running or it was above some "critical" threshold
3 Unknown Invalid command line arguments were supplied to the plugin or the plugin was unable to check the status of the given hosts/service
=head1 NAGIOS PLUGIN NOTES
Nagios plugin reference: http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html
This plugin does NOT use Nagios DEFAULT_SOCKET_TIMEOUT (provided by utils.pm as $TIMEOUT) because
the path to utils.pm must be specified completely in this program and forces users to edit the source
code if their install location is different (if they realize this is the problem). You can view
the default timeout for this module by using the --verbose and --version options together. The
short form is -vV.
Other than that, it attempts to follow published guidelines for Nagios plugins.

+ version 0.5.1
Sat Dec 13 08:57:29 PST 2008
+ added --download option to allow local searching of messages (useful if your server has an index that handles searching but it takes a while before new emails show up and you want immediate results), supports only the TEXT, BODY, SUBJECT, and HEADER search keys
+ added --download-max option to set a limit on number of messages downloaded with --download
+ version 0.6.0
Wed Sep 30 23:25:33 PDT 2009
+ fixed --download-max option (was incorrectly looking for --download_max). currently both will work, in the future only --download-max will work
+ added --template option to allow arbitrary substitutions for search parameters, and provided three convenience functions for working with dates
+ added date search criteria to the --download option: SENTBEFORE, SENTON, and SENTSINCE which check the Date header and allow hours and minutes in addition to dates (whereas the IMAP standard only allows dates)
+ added --search-critical-max to trigger a CRITICAL alert if number of messages found is more than argument, disabled by default.
+ fixed a bug in --download --search where messages would match even though they failed the search criteria
+ changed behavior of --download-max to look at the most recent messages first (hopefully); the IMAP protocol doesn't guarantee the order that the messages are returned but I observed that many mail servers return them in chronological order; so now --download-max reverses the order to look at the newer messages first
+ added performance data for use with PNP4Nagios!
+ version 0.7.0
Fri Oct 2 15:22:00 PDT 2009
+ added --search-warning-max and --search-warning-min to trigger a WARNING alert if number of messages is more than or less than the specified number.
