Possible to Monitor POP3 Mailboxes?

General
1

Hello experts,

We are looking to monitor the contents of several POP3 mailboxes. We are aware of the check_mail plugin, but it only checks to ensure that login is possible and, optionally, processes messages by passing them to the event console:

We are also aware of the check_mailboxes plugin, which seems to do what we want but only supports IMAP or EWS protocols:

Is there anything like the check_mailboxes plugin that supports POP3?

Thanks in advance,
Jason

You could use check_pop3_account.

Thank you for the suggestion Robert.

I will need to do some research to figure out how to install/use Nagios Exchange plugins with Checkmk.

Regards,
Jason

Put the executable Nagios plugin in $OMD_ROOT/local/lib/nagios/plugins and use the ruleset “Integrate Nagios plugins” to create a service check.

Or put the Nagios plugin on the host itself and use MRPE via the agent to call it.
