Install to FreeBSD (optional)Install to FreeBSD (optional) — How to install milter manager related softwares to FreeBSD |
This document describes how to install milter manager related softwares to FreeBSD. See Install to FreeBSD for milter manager install information and Install for general install information.
milter-manager-log-analyzer analyzer milter manager's log and generates graphs for statistics information.
There are two ways to view generated graphs; (1) view them via a Web server at the same host and (2) view them via Munin (and a Web server) at other host. If we already have Munin or exclusive system monitoring server, Munin is a better way. Otherwise, a Web server at the same host is a better way. [6]
We install milter-manager-log-analyzer and then configure an environment to view generated graphs.
We use RRDtool for generating graphs. We also install Ruby bindings to RRDtool.
NOTE: The Ruby bindings in RRDtool 1.3.8 has a bug. Don't specify "-M'WITH_RUBY_MODULE=yes'" when you use 1.3.8.
% sudo /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -NRr -m 'WITH_RUBY_MODULE=true' databases/rrdtool
milter-manager-log-analyzer analyzes log and generates graphs periodically by cron. There is a cron configuration file at /usr/local/etc/milter-manager/cron.d/freebsd/milter-manager-log. milter-manager-log-analyzer analyzes log each 5 minutes and generates graphs into ~milter-manager/public_html/log/ by using the file.
% sudo -u milter-manager -H crontab /usr/local/etc/milter-manager/cron.d/freebsd/milter-manager-log
We can confirm that milter-manager-log-analyzer is ran each 5 minutes at /var/log/cron.
We complete milter-manager-log-analyzer installation. We will setup an environment to view generated graphs. First, a way that a Web server in the same host will be explained, then a way that using Munin will be explained.
We use Apache as Web server. We will install Apache 2.2 series. (www/apache22)
% sudo /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -NRr www/apache22
Apache publishes users' files. We edit /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf like the following:
Before:
# User home directories #Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
After:
# User home directories Include etc/apache22/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
Then we reload configuration file:
% sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 reload
Now, we can see graphs at http://localhost/milter-manager-log/.
We install milter-manager-munin-plugins package that provides statistics data collected by milter-manager-log-analyzer to Munin:
% sudo /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -NRr munin-node
We will install Munin plugins to provide statistics information collected by milter-manager-log-analyzer to Munin. Those plugins are installed into /usr/local/share/munin/plugins/. First, we install them to munin-node's plugins directory:
% sudo ln -s /usr/local/share/milter-manager/munin/plugins/* /usr/local/share/munin/plugins
Next, we put a configuration for those plugins to /usr/local/etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/milter-manager.conf:
/usr/local/etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/milter-manager.conf:
[milter_manager_*] user milter-manager env.PATH /bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin env.logdir /home/milter-manager/public_html/log env.pidfile /var/run/milter-manager/milter-manager.pid
At the last, we enables only plugins what we need:
% sudo /usr/local/sbin/munin-node-configure --shell | grep -e '\(milter_manager_\|postfix_processes\|sendmail_processes\)' | sudo sh
Plugins installation is completed.
NOTE: We need to use databases created by milter-manager-log-analyzer bundled with milter manager 1.5.0 or later to provide statistics data to Munin. If we have databases that are created by older milter-manager-log-analyzer, we need to remove ~milter-manager/public_html/log/. If we remove the directory, milter-manager-log-analyzer re-creates statistics databases 5 minutes later.
Munin-node should accept accesses from Munin server. If Munin server is 192.168.1.254, we need to append the following lines to /etc/munin/munin-node.conf:
/etc/munin/munin-node.conf:
allow ^192\.168\.1\.254$
We need to restart munin-node to apply our configuration:
% sudo /usr/sbin/service munin-node restart
Works in this section at system monitor server. We assume that system monitor server works on FreeBSD.
First, we install munin and Apache:
monitoring-server% sudo /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -NRr munin-main www/apache22
We add our mail server that works munin-node to munin's monitor target. We assume that mail server has the following configuration:
We need to add the following lines to /usr/local/etc/munin/munin.conf to add the mail server:
/usr/local/etc/munin/munin.conf:
[mail.example.com] address 192.168.1.2 use_node_name yes
We export graphs generated by munin:
% sudo ln -s /usr/local/www/munin/ /usr/local/www/apache22/data/
We will be able to view graphs at http://monitoring-server/munin/ 5 minutes later.
We can confirm milter's effect visually by milter-manager-log-analyzer. If we use Postfix as MTA, we can compare with Mailgraph 's graphs to confirm milter's effect. We can use graphs generated by milter-manager-log-analyzer effectively when we are trying out a milter.
