I'm not doing it, but it sounds like a good job for SmokePing:

what exactly do you want to measure here? if it's machine responsiveness,
use standard w/free/vmstat/iostat info.

that depends mostly on where your accounts are stored. in my example, mysql;
so i monitor that.

this is i/o problem. use iostat for that.

same. iostat.

mrtg is a bit too much router oriented to plot everything you want nicely
... rrd is a better solution.
as to how to do it ... there are many many scripts floating around for the
general things like cpu load, bandwith and so on, but what we have here is a
higly specific stuff and so the best way is to roll your own scripts.

Performance Monitoring?

2005-02-04 Thread Bill Earle

Performance Monitoring?

- What are people using to monitor their Cyrus Imap Server
  performance?

- things we would like to monitor:
connect to imap port to banner response time
imap login time
mailbox selection time
imap process time (maybe create a new folder, move
a few messages, delete them and expung)

- We would also prefer graphing / trending, like a MRTG add-on.


Thanks,
Bill
