Re: postfix munin graphs
I think I need to tell munin where my postfix logs are (/var/log/mail/current) since I use metalog. How can I do that? - Grant Try'n read some documentation http://munin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ I've read a lot of it but: 0 Results for postfix Then check out /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node I've successfully configured apache and nginx in that file but munin postfix config is extremely hard to find online. - Grant And then, if Munin still doesn't work, the Munin-folks might be better to help out http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/HowToGetHelp

Instead of searching online, use the built-in pod based format, e.g.: $ munindoc postfix_mailstats NAME postfix_mailstats - Plugin to monitor the number of mails delivered and rejected by postfix CONFIGURATION Configuration parameters for /etc/munin/postfix_mailstats, if you need to override the defaults below: [postfix_mailstats] env.logdir - Which logfile to use env.logfile - What file to read in logdir DEFAULT CONFIGURATION [postfix_mailstats] env.logdir /var/log env.logfile mail.log Munin plugins are controlled by the files in /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/. Based on the above, either create a section for postfix_mailstats in the file munin-node or create a new one (they will all be parsed), detailing the location of your mail log. Explicitly, if your mail log is /var/log/mail/current, add this: [postfix_mailstats] env.logdir /var/log/mail env.logfile current You might also need to set group permissions to be able to read the log file. -- Bjørn

The webinterface (running as apache:apache) does not collect the data, the munin-node daemon does that. Probably the data collection is configured to run as root (at least for the postfix plugin).

What do you think? i think u should define your syslog-ng.conf. this is not part of the gentoo package maintainer. here munin works like a charm. with postfix. marko - Grant
postfix munin graphs
Does anyone have all 3 munin graphs working with the postfix plugin? My mailqueue graph works but for the others I get: # munin-run postfix_mailstats delivered.value U # munin-run postfix_mailvolume volume.value U I think I need to tell munin where my postfix logs are (/var/log/mail/current) since I use metalog. How can I do that? - Grant
