Dear Postfix Community,I'm writing for the first time there but working in the area of SMTP messaging since a long time. With Postfix, that I really love.
The goal of my e-mail today is just to let you know that I'm working since some time on my open source GPLv3 project dedicated to _*real time*_ postfix log analysis, but not only log analysis.
This project need several components to work fine, primarily a Linux server running Apache, Php, Rsyslog, postgreSQL 9.2, SNMPD, ... A lot of things are described in the INSTALL file.
If you are interested by such project, you can find it on Sourceforge there: https://sourceforge.net/projects/x-itools/files/X-Itools%20releases/E-mail%20Log%20Search%20Engine/
The archive I just uploaded this morning deal with Postfix version >=2.8.x logs.
This tool is used in the United Nations datacenters, for Messaging Services, where I'm currently working as a messaging architect consultant. Depending of the processing power of the server, it is able to work with a mail flow of 1 million e-mails a day in real time. The version deployed in the UN also process Exchange servers logs in real time. The version I've packaged on sourceforge is a little bit in late (I need time to commit all my code) and is able to process Postfix logs only as of today. Some (and me too :-)) say it is much more powerfull than what Postini from Google is offering, especially if we consider it is working in real time.
Version available on sourceforge in the tar.gz archive is 0.9.10.Version starting to process Exchange Servers logs is 0.9.11. It is comming...
Also, I kept my tool "secret" since 2004 despite the fact I decided to make it under GPL, using it for my own needs as a small provider myself. I decided to publish it on sourceforge in 2011, when UN shown a big interest in it, and then I restarted the development. It means the Wiki is empty, the doc is enclosed in my brain, ... and all of this needs to be publicly available. that will take time...
So, if you're interested, I can answer questions and provide help. It can be quite complex to install because of the dependencies needed. This project also need, as you may know, volunteers and talents, people to debug, ... I'm not the most talented coder of the world of course :) PHP code I produce as a PHP newbie for example, could be greatly enhanced, secured, and so on. I'm learning PHP the same time I'm coding this tool and it's not easy as I'm an old school C/C++ coder.
In brief, a continuous effort is needed as usual./NOTE: I've removed the attached screenshot because e-mail size is limited to 40000 characters./
Thanks for your attention Best regards, Nicolas
