using snmp process monitoring for health monitor of smtpd
We created a postfix puremessage mx pool behind F5. As part of administrating mail, we need to quickly sort through the sea of information contained within the maillog file.
Unfortunately, our new pool behind the F5 using the simple tcp health monitor has gotten that much fuller with the all of the connects from the F5 checking in on the health of the service running on server:port
Any suggestion on how to configure postfix to not log connections from the two F5 interfaces, or a better health monitor would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Damion
Example:
May 24 11:30:57 pmx1 postfix/smtpd[8259]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.82.4]
May 24 11:30:59 pmx1 postfix/smtpd[8259]: connect from unknown[192.168.82.6]
May 24 11:30:59 pmx1 postfix/smtpd[8259]: lost connection after CONNECT from unknown[192.168.82.6]
May 24 11:30:59 pmx1 postfix/smtpd[8259]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.82.6]
May 24 11:31:02 pmx1 postfix/smtpd[8259]: connect from unknown[192.168.82.4]

- hooleylistCirrostratusdsirrine posted a scripted SMTP monitor solution which you can check out here:
- HamishCirrocumulusI don't believe there is an option for disabling logging for a specific IP address in postfix. I've never had a request to stop logging a client before... Increase yes (debug_peer_level and debug_peer_list)
- DamionCirrusI was setting up monitoring through nagios, and have snmp processes monitoring the smtpd and spam filter processes.
- DamionCirrusOn the mail server system I added to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
- DamionCirrusor the UCD-SNMP-MIB::prErrorFlag
- DamionCirrusok, now here is the weird thing. trying to sync the newly created external monitor to the standby LTM we get the following error
- DamionCirrusNo arguments are passed, instead variables are added of
