imap_bandwidth

Name

imap_bandwidth - Munin plugin to measure the current bandwidth of one or more remote IMAP servers.

Applicable Systems

Any Linux system with the package “isync” (or “mbsync”) installed.

Configuration

This configuration section shows a usable example for two imap servers: [imap_bandwidth] env.imap_servers internal=imap-internal.example.org external=imap.example.org env.cert_file /etc/munin-imap-cert.pem env.username foo_user env.password secret env.transfer_volume_kbyte 100 env.use_ssl yes

Both “use_ssl” and “transfer_volume_kbyte” are optional and default to the above values. All other parameters are required.

Generate the certificate file by running “mbsync-get-cert imap.example.org”.

“imap_servers” is a space-separated list of key=value combinations. “key” is used as a label in munin graphs. “value” is the full hostname or IP of the IMAP server. All IMAP servers need to share the same authentication database (i.e. accept the same username/password).

Reduce the “transfer_volume_kbyte” parameter if you need to minimize traffic.

Maybe you need to specify the “timeout” setting for this plugin if it takes longer than munin’s default timeout.

Interpretation

The plugin simply shows the average bandwidth during one IMAP upload and one IMAP download of a file containing random bytes.

You need to be aware that this measurement obviously increases the load on your IMAP servers for the duration of the measurement.

You also need to be aware of the safety implications imposed by storing sensitive information (username and password combinations) on your monitoring server in plaintext.

=head1 NAME

imap_bandwidth - Munin plugin to measure the current bandwidth of one or more remote IMAP servers.

=head1 APPLICABLE SYSTEMS

Any Linux system with the package "isync" (or "mbsync") installed.

=head1 CONFIGURATION

This configuration section shows a usable example for two imap servers:
   [imap_bandwidth]
   env.imap_servers			internal=imap-internal.example.org external=imap.example.org
   env.cert_file			/etc/munin-imap-cert.pem
   env.username			foo_user
   env.password			secret
   env.transfer_volume_kbyte	100
   env.use_ssl				yes


Both "use_ssl" and "transfer_volume_kbyte" are optional and default to the above
values.
All other parameters are required.

Generate the certificate file by running "mbsync-get-cert imap.example.org".

"imap_servers" is a space-separated list of key=value combinations. "key" is
used as a label in munin graphs. "value" is the full hostname or IP of the IMAP
server. All IMAP servers need to share the same authentication database (i.e.
accept the same username/password).

Reduce the "transfer_volume_kbyte" parameter if you need to minimize traffic.

Maybe you need to specify the "timeout" setting for this plugin if it takes
longer than munin's default timeout.


=head1 INTERPRETATION

The plugin simply shows the average bandwidth during one IMAP upload and one
IMAP download of a file containing random bytes.

You need to be aware that this measurement obviously increases the load on
your IMAP servers for the duration of the measurement.

You also need to be aware of the safety implications imposed by storing
sensitive information (username and password combinations) on your monitoring
server in plaintext.
