Comparaison to other exporter about postfix_exporter HOT 7 CLOSED

Hey @deajan, mostly it fits my needs in terms of a metric set and a slightly different parsing.

I'm sure there are overlaps with the kumina's project but mine suites me better so far, hopefully it or its parts might be useful to others, that's why I decided to share it.

Thanks.
Do you have a grafana dashboard for your exporter ?

Here's one I use: https://gist.github.com/sergeymakinen/7a3ceb3de41fd4f79703b1497c32b33a

@sergeymakinen Thank you for your info.
I've compared both exporters recently from the same mail servers.

I don't see where I can get the deferred messages (the actual mail queue) from your exporter, or the age of the mails in the queue perhaps.
These metrics (I get them on the other exporter, which isn't maintained anymore as it seems), help me to diagnose blacklist problems on my mail servers.

How do you proceed to do so ? Perhaps something I missed ?

from postfix_exporter.

@deajan I think those metrics are not included as I haven’t needed them yet. I could take a look and add as it seems like a good idea to have them.

@sergeymakinen May I perhaps open an issue for the metrics that could be useful ?

from postfix_exporter.

@deajan Sure thing!
