mail statistic/graph - ronni - 05-02-2007 10:17 PM I think it would be a great thing if something like "mailgraph" was integrated in ispCP. I have looked on http://mailgraph.schweikert.ch/ and I will try to install it on my production server there is running ispCP RC2. It would be a nice tool for administrators to monitor the load on the mail server I think. Please give me your opinion. Best Regards Ronni Poulsen RE: mail statistic/graph - ephigenie - 05-02-2007 10:29 PM yeah that looks really nice. It's just the question if those things shouldn't be done better by apps like munin, zabbix, nagios and so on. Because that stats aren't domain-specific so its more a "how is the health/ busy state of the whole machine atm" thing. I'm not quite sure if this has to be in there. Although its nice to know about it. Perhaps we can find a way to integrate munin graphs somehow ? RE: mail statistic/graph - joximu - 05-02-2007 11:21 PM I know this tool, it's nice - as Ephigenie said :-) But we have to think about what is he main task for ispcp (omega). If we want a full service thing like plesk then we should integrate it or we should have the focus on a cool and flexible control panel with the possibility to integrate such tools (withour integrate them into ispCP). I vote for the second... What we can do: have a link to mailgraph at the website somewhere... or when the project has grown - in the docu as a hint... just my 2 cents... /Joximu RE: mail statistic/graph - BeNe - 05-03-2007 12:12 AM I already started a Thread about it --> http://www.isp-control.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=410 The good one - it is damn easy to install under Debian. I wanted to test how it works. But i never get a answer. It would be nice if we can include some that can more than only one thing. Like munin, there is also a HowTo in the Forum from me. The difference to zabbix or nagios is that they are monitoring and not only create stats like munin or cacti. Is this needed ? RE: mail statistic/graph - ephigenie - 05-03-2007 01:07 AM Yeah i think monitoring makes only sense if there's also a response about services running or not or running above some user-definable limits... that maybe is a great option for the future of ispCP as well. Because if we support multi-server solutions as well, than keeping a lot of servers in view ain't that easy as to keep one server monitored. So i think admins will be glad about just defining limits for their servers and beeing notified if those are reached or if something else (service/server) not responding happens. RE: mail statistic/graph - BeNe - 05-03-2007 01:29 AM For sure make monitoring sense, but not only on one host. In some future version with multi-server is this option no question. But when the monitoring and the services that should be monitored are on the same machine - it make this no sense for me. Let the mailservice like Postfix go down on the host, you never will get a mail about this Problem RE: mail statistic/graph - ephigenie - 05-03-2007 01:43 AM yeah but there're other ways to submit an alert if its urgent (like sms) usually these got submitted via calling an url (can be done via bash-script or similar) so as long as there's a network available you can send alerts. RE: mail statistic/graph - BeNe - 05-03-2007 02:01 AM Yeah of course - there are many ways. But in my eyes it make only _really_ sense when a Monitoringsystem is extern from the system that is monitored. Ok - lets test it, why not!? I mean that Nagios has something like a self helping system that can start or reboot the service after it goes down. RE: mail statistic/graph - soringo - 05-03-2007 04:23 AM I vote for munin...I'm useing for my production server and I'm pleased with it....munin is more for admins and not for end users (clients). I guess statistics from CP is enough for clients. Hac!..my opinion. |
