Title: Nachricht

Markus you can use the PerfMon mib for the counters you are looking for. A really good SNMP resource is snmp4tpc.com. I have used this as a resource for at least 4 years now.

MRTG run local on our Mailserver. He generates the reports for our network equipment (firewall, switch), our servers (at the moment only IIS data. I'm glad if someone can point me to a good snmp-documentation for windows counters like cpu, ram, hdd ...) and our Imail logfiles. (3-4 MB SMTP and 3-4 MB POP3-logs per day)

Markus,
 
Thank you for the link.  I was considering writing my own using RRD-Tool and perhaps using Kiwi sysmon.  I'd like to run everything on a remote monitoring workstation, and would be concerned about network traffic of the MRTG trying to read the logfiles.
 
How do you currently have IMrtg setup (local process or remote), and what is the daily average size of your log files?
 
Thanks,
 
Ives

I've posted the yesterday on this list. The headers looks like the following and normaly should never occur.
 
06:24 15:11 SMTPD(0FDB0020) [ip.ad.dr.es] MAIL FROM: <>
06:24 15:11 SMTPD(0FDB0020) [ip.ad.dr.es] RCPT TO: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ñªägÕ€Ð)¥v\îŸ`f„ÇÙx¹¸6Ž]QÛ‘l2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
06:24 15:11 SMTPD(0FDB0020) [ip.ad.dr.es] ERR mail.zcom.it invalid user <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ñªägÕ€Ð)¥v\îŸ`f„ÇÙx¹¸6Ž]QÛ‘l2/-$ªD‰
Even if MRTG can't process further lines, it will show up the last known value for the rest of the day. Next day a new logfile is created and MRTG will continue his work.
 
I can highly consider IMrtg to anyone wo want to see what's going on on his IMail server. It shows not only abnormal values, indicating problems or abuse, but can also help to calculate how much is growing certain email-traffic. (For example local delivered msgs, remote delivered msgs (relaying), pop3-connections, pop3-failures)

Markus,
 
What did the 'corrupt' to/from lines look like?
 
Thanks,

Even if it's "beta" I haven't ecountered any problems except that after corrupt from- and to-lines in the smtp-log IMrtg can't process further lines for this day.
In over 10 months that we use IMrtg this (corrupt lines) happened 2 times (yesterday and 2 days ago)

Hi,

Does anyone have any scripts lying around that process the sys or web logs into a format that's MRTG friendly?
