HI,

I’m currently testing the stats module of Dovecot (2.2.26.0 (23d1de6)) Looks like there no statistics under FreeBSD. Server isn’t busy yet but got at least a few connection open.

Added

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins stats

plugin { stats_refresh = 30 secs stats_track_cmds = yes }

doveadm stats dump global

reset_timestamp last_update num_logins num_cmds num_connected_sessions auth_successes auth_master_successes auth_failures auth_db_tempfails auth_cache_hits auth_cache_misses user_cpu sys_cpu clock_time min_faults maj_faults vol_cs invol_cs disk_input disk_output read_count read_bytes write_count write_bytes mail_lookup_path mail_lookup_attr mail_read_count mail_read_bytes mail_cache_hits 1478031539 0.000000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Cheers, Ruud

See if there are any errors in logs. I guess mail-stats fifo doesn't have enough permissions so that imap/pop3/lmtp can connect to it.

prw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0 Nov 1 13:09 stats-mail prw------- 1 root wheel 0 Nov 1 13:09 stats-user drwxr-x--- 2 root dovenull 4 Nov 1 13:09 token-login

If something other than root is trying to write to stats-user, we found the issue.

this is on 10.3-STABLE

I added the following to 90-plugin.conf: .... service stats { chroot = empty client_limit = 0 drop_priv_before_exec = no executable = stats extra_groups = fifo_listener stats-mail { group = mode = 0666 user = } fifo_listener stats-user { group = mode = 0666 user = } ....

and now: srw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0 Nov 2 12:47 stats prw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0 Nov 2 12:47 stats-mail prw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0 Nov 2 12:47 stats-user

and I get stats.

BTW: What is "stats-user" used for? I cannot find a reference in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Statistics

Thanks and regards, Michael
