I would like to monitor the postfix server on a Solaris box. I go to hyperic client running postfix and open the tools menu and say add server. Postfix is a server . I edit the config file for the server with the info it needs. using a description of "monitor postfix".I now see a Green availability ball for the postfix server. on the dashboard
Is this telling me that postfix is sending mail properly ? or that the postfix process just exists.? Why do i need to read the mail queues??? Do i need to have permissions to read queues to see if postfix is working (not just there ???)
In the config file it said that I need to run the chyperic client agent as root or have permissions to read the mail queues. Im NOt running the client as root . Why do I need permission to read the defer or mail queues for ???
Can you tell me what the Green ball for postfix is saying ??
an d why there are orange balls for the defer queues an no other queues are mentioned.
Under Servers -postfix2.x monitor postfix(my named file) , I see a orage ball fore the Postfix 2.x queue...under which are defer queue and deferred queue both orange ..
I guess these are the queues that I need the root client running for ????
Are these the only queues I need to monitor ??? Does hyperic pluging use thses
queues to test the proper functioninf of postfix???
