# OpenSMTPD Input Plugin This plugin gathers stats from [OpenSMTPD - a FREE implementation of the server-side SMTP protocol](https://www.opensmtpd.org/) ### Configuration: ```toml [[inputs.opensmtpd]] ## If running as a restricted user you can prepend sudo for additional access: #use_sudo = false ## The default location of the smtpctl binary can be overridden with: binary = "/usr/sbin/smtpctl" # The default timeout of 1s can be overridden with: #timeout = "1s" ``` ### Measurements & Fields: This is the full list of stats provided by smtpctl and potentially collected by telegram depending of your smtpctl configuration. - smtpctl bounce_envelope bounce_message bounce_session control_session mda_envelope mda_pending mda_running mda_user mta_connector mta_domain mta_envelope mta_host mta_relay mta_route mta_session mta_source mta_task mta_task_running queue_bounce queue_evpcache_load_hit queue_evpcache_size queue_evpcache_update_hit scheduler_delivery_ok scheduler_delivery_permfail scheduler_delivery_tempfail scheduler_envelope scheduler_envelope_expired scheduler_envelope_incoming scheduler_envelope_inflight scheduler_ramqueue_envelope scheduler_ramqueue_message scheduler_ramqueue_update smtp_session smtp_session_inet4 smtp_session_local uptime ### Permissions: It's important to note that this plugin references smtpctl, which may require additional permissions to execute successfully. Depending on the user/group permissions of the telegraf user executing this plugin, you may need to alter the group membership, set facls, or use sudo. **Group membership (Recommended)**: ```bash $ groups telegraf telegraf : telegraf $ usermod -a -G opensmtpd telegraf $ groups telegraf telegraf : telegraf opensmtpd ``` **Sudo privileges**: If you use this method, you will need the following in your telegraf config: ```toml [[inputs.opensmtpd]] use_sudo = true ``` You will also need to update your sudoers file: ```bash $ visudo # Add the following line: Cmnd_Alias SMTPCTL = /usr/sbin/smtpctl telegraf ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: SMTPCTL Defaults!SMTPCTL !logfile, !syslog, !pam_session ``` Please use the solution you see as most appropriate. ### Example Output: ``` telegraf --config etc/telegraf.conf --input-filter opensmtpd --test * Plugin: inputs.opensmtpd, Collection 1 > opensmtpd,host=localhost scheduler_delivery_tempfail=822,mta_host=10,mta_task_running=4,queue_bounce=13017,scheduler_delivery_permfail=51022,mta_relay=7,queue_evpcache_size=2,scheduler_envelope_expired=26,bounce_message=0,mta_domain=7,queue_evpcache_update_hit=848,smtp_session_local=12294,bounce_envelope=0,queue_evpcache_load_hit=4389703,scheduler_ramqueue_update=0,mta_route=3,scheduler_delivery_ok=2149489,smtp_session_inet4=2131997,control_session=1,scheduler_envelope_incoming=0,uptime=10346728,scheduler_ramqueue_envelope=2,smtp_session=0,bounce_session=0,mta_envelope=2,mta_session=6,mta_task=2,scheduler_ramqueue_message=2,mta_connector=7,mta_source=1,scheduler_envelope=2,scheduler_envelope_inflight=2 1510220300000000000 ```
