Graphical statisticsΒΆ
This plugin collects various statistics about emails traffic on your server. It parses a log file to collect information, store it into RRD files (see rrdtool) and then generates graphics in PNG format.
To use it, go to the online parameters panel and adapt the following ones to your environment:
| Name | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| Path to the log file | Path to log file used to collect statistics | /var/log/mail.log |
| Directory to store RRD files | Path to directory where RRD files are stored | /tmp/modoboa |
| Directory to store PNG files | Path to directory where PNG files are stored | <modoboa_site>/media/stats |
Make sure the directory that will contain RRD files exists. If not, create it before going further. For example (according to the previous parameters):
$ mkdir /tmp/modoboa
To finish, you need to collect information periodically in order to feed the RRD files. Add the following line into root’s crontab:
*/5 * * * * <modoboa_site>/manage.py logparser &> /dev/null
#
# Or like this if you use a virtual environment:
# 0/5 * * * * <virtualenv path/bin/python> <modoboa_site>/manage.py logparser &> /dev/null
Replace <modoboa_site> with the path of your Modoboa instance.
Graphics will be automatically created after each parsing.
