Dovecot Input Plugin
This plugin uses the Dovecot v2.1 stats protocol to gather metrics about configured domains of Dovecot servers. You can use this plugin on Dovecot up to and including version v2.3.x.
Dovecot v2.4+ has the old protocol removed and this plugin will not work.
Please use Dovecot’s Openmetrics exporter in combination with
the http input plugin and openmetrics data format for newer
versions of Dovecot.
Introduced in: Telegraf v0.10.3 Tags: server OS support: all
Global configuration options
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc. See the CONFIGURATION.md for more details.
Configuration
# Read metrics about dovecot servers
[[inputs.dovecot]]
## specify dovecot servers via an address:port list
## e.g.
## localhost:24242
## or as an UDS socket
## e.g.
## /var/run/dovecot/old-stats
##
## If no servers are specified, then localhost is used as the host.
servers = ["localhost:24242"]
## Type is one of "user", "domain", "ip", or "global"
type = "global"
## Wildcard matches like "*.com". An empty string "" is same as "*"
## If type = "ip" filters should be <IP/network>
filters = [""]Metrics
