Announce: mailscanner-mrtg extensive monitoring for MailScanner machines

[Dale Lovelace]

  Cool, I will add that and test it tomorrow. I already have spotted one bug, the Virii legend is "Percentage" and should be "Virii". Oops. I also want to add a few things on the pages MRTG outputs describing what you are seeing. So it looks like version 0.02 tomorrow :-)

  Thanks!
  Dale

This is easy:

In httpd.conf, add a line at the very END of the file that says:

Include /path/to/mailscanner-mrtg.include

Then, create the actual include file:

vi /path/to/mailscanner-mrtg.include

Alias /mailscanner-mrtg/ "/var/www/html/or/wherever/mailscanner-mrtg/"

Save it and restart apache.  If the include is not put at the bottom of the httpd.conf, it will hose apache.

  Hi!

  Glad to hear some people are working with it already!

  I'm not altogether familiar with apache include files and such. Could you possibly send me one, with instructions for installing
it, and I will put it in the package?

  Thanks!
  Dale

I just got it up and running too.  http://bladeware.com/mailscanner-mrtg  I'm going to run it tandem with the other graphs I have at
http://bladeware.com  The only changes I had to make were moving the /mailscanner-mrtg to the correct vhost.

What I might suggest, for those running servers with vhosts is that an Apache include file (for httpd.conf) be provided that would
create an alias for /mailscanner-mrtg/  This way, if one is running many vhosts, they can hit the graphs from any one of the
domains.

Works great!  No configuration needed.  Installed the RPM and made sure mrtg was working and it started right up.

I'm just a 56k server.  So please be patient.  And its only been running maybe 10-15 minutes.  Tomorrow i should have a few more
stats.
