postfix_exporter
================
Collects continuesly events from postfix and dovecot via journald.
Exports the collected event-counters and the currently count of queued messages.
queue_exporter
==============
If you only want to check the count of mails in queue, use the `queue_exporter` in the subdirectory.
It has lesser dependencies and a smaller footprint:
* No journald, no ffi, no puma
* ffi and puma need a compiler, which you do not need to install
* Instead of puma, use simple rackup, which provides a simpler webserver.
Usage
-----
For nix, `nix-shell` knows any dependencies.
Any other: You need `libffi` and some gems:
apt install libffi
bundle install
Run puma for testing and use curl for first fetch.
puma
curl http://localhost:9296/metrics
You should see the collected data. On first run, this code be very empty. Wait some minutes to have some emails.
journald should not drop loglines! TODO: /etc/systemd/journald.conf
