This plugin collects mail metrics from the postfix mail log. I have only tested this on CentOS 6 with Python 2.6.6
Example data in Grafana
- CentOS 6 (Python 2.6) with collectd 5.5.3
Follows standard collectd-python plugin configuration. You need to make sure your collectd binary was compiled with python support first.
- Drop
collectd-postfix.py
into<COLLECTD_ROOT>/share/collectd/
- or wherever you store plugins - Configure the plugin in your collectd config
<COLLECTD_ROOT>/etc/conf.d/postfix.conf
or however you include plugins
Below is an example module config. Current allowed options are:
- Verbose (boolean) - use verbose logging
- Maillog (string) - location of postfix mail log
- CheckMailQ (boolean) - check the postfix mail queue (shells out with subprocess)
<LoadPlugin python>
Globals true
</LoadPlugin>
<Plugin python>
# postfix.py is at /opt/collectd/share/collectd/postfix.py
ModulePath "/opt/collectd/share/collectd/"
Import "postfix"
<Module postfix>
Verbose false
Maillog "/var/log/maillog"
CheckMailQ true
</Module>
</Plugin>
