Hi, i want to enable an email notification in Munin, when the mail queue of postfix reaches a specific number of emails. I want to do that because of spam prevention from the php mailer. How can i do that? Any help to create this rule would be awesome. Best regards chico
Normally mail notifications are sent through the local mail server, so that mail might be stuck in the mail queue if it fills up with spam. You'd have to send the email via a different mail server than the one you want to watch. Check if the postfix mailqueue plugin is installed by typing Code: munin-run postfix_mailqueue on the node. It will give something like Then you have to configure the warning on the munin master host by adding Code: postfix_mailqueue.active.warning 90 or Code: postfix_mailqueue.deferred.warning 90 to the node section you want to monitor at. If not yet done, you have to configure mail alerts by adding a contact, e. g. Code: contact.email.command mail -s "Munin-notification for ${var:group} :: ${var:host}" [email protected] to the config.
thx a lot. one question. how can i check that the config is running without filling my mailqueue? edit: solution - df node with 1% limit installed.
