following our discussion on dovecot stats at the LinuxTag 2012 my team and I sat down and put together a list of stat items we think to be useful in daily dovecot usage.
Besides pulling together all the data we also think it would be useful to have an SNMP interface to access the stats. Our offer to create and contribute a standalone web interface for dovecot stats stands.
This should be done via SNMP subagent, but how could you differentiate different dovecot instances on the same machine, different snmp ports for the subagent, or different snmp trees?
I'd suggest some additional performance metrics like min/max/avg time to authenicate, establish a proxy session and perhaps include auth failure causes counters as well.
I personally wouldn't want to see this implemented as an SNMP subagent but so long as the stats would be available off a local socket directly I think everyone would be happy.
