John snmpd can read logfiles for regexes and then populate a table in the tree. Then you point something like Cacti at it. See http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmpd.conf.html halfway down under Log File Monitoring. It's a well hidden feature! If you find the default logs a pain to parse, you can make use of log_message to create custom entries, starting with an identifier. Pass the lot through a decent syslog and you can split out the default logs and your custom logs into separate files or a db or whatever. You can use Exim stats on the default files. If you output to a db you could run SQL queries for your reports. There are lots of options 8) Cheers Jon Blueloop Ltd 01460 271055 https://www.blueloop.net Blueloop House, Ilchester Road, YEOVIL, BA21 3AA Registered England & Wales - 3981322 -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
