Postfix Input Plugin

The postfix plugin reports metrics on the postfix queues.

For each of the active, hold, incoming, maildrop, and deferred queues (http://www.postfix.org/QSHAPE_README.html#queues), it will report the queue length (number of items), size (bytes used by items), and age (age of oldest item in seconds).

Configuration

[[inputs.postfix]]
  ## Postfix queue directory. If not provided, telegraf will try to use
  ## 'postconf -h queue_directory' to determine it.
  # queue_directory = "/var/spool/postfix"

Measurements & Fields:

• postfix_queue
  • length (integer)
