OpenSMTPD Input Plugin

This plugin gathers stats from OpenSMTPD - a FREE implementation of the server-side SMTP protocol

Configuration:

 [[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):

$ 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:

[[inputs.opensmtpd]]
  use_sudo = true

You will also need to update your sudoers file:

$ 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
