Mailgraph/pflogsumm Ubuntu 12.04

[DaleHutch]

Greetings Falko!!!

I have a quick question. I recently wanted to install and configure the mailgraph.cgi and the pflogsumm utility on my Ubuntu Server (v12.04)

I came across your old "How To" Postfix Monitoring With Mailgraph And pflogsumm On Debian Lenny

Mailgraph installed and executed without any issues. Neat application!

I followed the pflogsumm section and it appears it worked but the E-mail was blank.

Question: Do I need to wait for the daily cron job (/etc/cron.daily) to cycle and create the zipped file?

Thanks!!

I've got some updated information...

It appears the cron jobs are not creating the mail.log.0.gz . I've got others..

mail.log
mail.log.1
mail.log.2.gz
mail.log.3.gz
mail.log.4.gz

I ran the script against mail.log.1 and I still get a blank E-mail

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I think I got it working!

I had to make a few adjustments to the CRON job and the script..

What I did is leave out the compression all together. I then instructed PFLOGSUMM to look at mail.log and pull yesterday's information.

perl /usr/sbin/pflogsumm -d yesterday /var/log/mail.log | mail -s "Mail Statastics" dalehutch@hutchtechnologies.com

I then put that into your postfix_report.sh

#!/bin/sh
#PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
#gunzip /var/log/mail.log.2.gz

perl /usr/sbin/pflogsumm -d yesterday /var/log/mail.log | sendmail dalehutch@hutchtechnologies.com

#gzip /var/log/mail.log.2
exit 0

In the CRON job I put this.

/usr/local/sbin/postfix_report.sh

I took off the "&> /dev/null" it would send a blank E-mail

Now all I have to do is add a few options to include a subject.

Thank you Falko!

Without all your tutorials I would not have been able to figure it out!
