Thank you James for offering and supporting this great tool.
I have upgraded to v1.1.4 and it runs smoothly on our CentOS 5.7.
A question on pflogsumm:
Is there a way to include stats on SMTPD connections from particular
origins?
For example, here is an excerpt from a report:
Host/Domain Summary: SMTPD Connections
---------------------------------------
connections time conn. avg./conn. max. time host/domain
----------- ---------- ---------- --------- -----------------
2465 4:28:50 7s 296s admin.example.com
104 0:01:01 1s 6s tech.example.com
...
As you can see, most connections come from admin.example.com, where our
mail gateway server (gw.admin.example.com) lies; that server is the
origin of most of the connections (almost all).
The problem is that if the traffic from the gateway server is not
reported separately, stats for the whole of admin.example.com are in a
way deceptive.
(Note: number of connections is low, since our mail gateway has already
filtered all unwanted connections.)
So, is there a way to specify that we want separate stats e.g. for
gw.admin.example.com? Then, the report would become something like:
Host/Domain Summary: SMTPD Connections
---------------------------------------
connections time conn. avg./conn. max. time host/domain
----------- ---------- ---------- --------- --------------------
2365 4:24:30 7s 296s gw.admin.example.com
100 0:04:50 4s 8s admin.example.com
104 0:01:01 1s 6s tech.example.com
...
Note: In this report, admin.example.com would/should not include stats
for gw.admin.example.com, for which we want separate stats.
Before closing, a short question: how pflogsumm decides when to display
stats (on SMTPD Connections) for a whole domain rather than for
particular hosts?
Thanks much,
Nick
