TimeElapsedReceiving is the elapsed time (wall clock) between the reception of a MAIL FROM smtp command from a MTA (this is where a new smtp transaction starts) and the time when content checking begins (when check_mail() is called), so this time interval consists mostly of a data transfer of a message from MTA to amavisd (RCPT TO and DATA smtp commands). > PS: It would be cool to have in amavisd-agent statistics about running > times for the different AV engines, like there is in the timing > report with $log_level=2 The TimeElapsed* counters are collected at a top level of a program flow and are of rather course granularity. The fine granularity timing measurements are more finely intertwined in the code and end up in log level 2 logging. In principle there could be more TimeElapsed* counters, but then one could always say: why this one and not also that one, so I have to draw a line somewhere. For occasional assessment you could run a one-liner Perl command across a log to collect times of interesting tasks, and perhaps plot a scattergram (gnuplot) for each such task. The diagram could be more revealing than a cumulative value. Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
