## NAME

mailping-latency - Munin plugin to graph latency of mail deliveries

## SYNOPSIS

**/usr/share/mailping/munin-plugins/mailping-latency** {\[config\] \| \[''\]}

## DESCRIPTION

 **mailping-latency** is a Munin plugin that monitors the time spent between email submit and it's delivery.

### Configuration output

When passed **config**, it outputs Munin configuration information. If there are no circuits defined (no subdirectories in */etc/mailping*), it specifies that Munin should draw no graph either.

If configuration files */etc/mailping/***circuit***/warnlatency* **and** */etc/mailping/***circuit***/faillatency* **exist, the values in them are passed on to Munin, for use in Nagios alert integration.**

### Value output

**When passed an empty string '', mailping-latency** outputs latency of last successful probe message, for each configured circuit.

## FILES

*/etc/mailping/*

List of circuits that exist; each subdirectory is a circuit.

*/etc/mailping/***circuit***/warnlatency*

**If latency is greater than this many seconds, a Nagios warning is triggered by Munin (assuming it has been configured to do that). Default: no warnings.**

*/etc/mailping/***circuit***/faillatency*

**If latency is greater than this many seconds, a Nagios alert is triggered by Munin (assuming it has been configured to do that). Default: no alerts.**

*/var/lib/mailping/state/***circuit***/latency*

**Amount of latency in seconds of the last successful probe for** **circuit.**

## ENVIRONMENT

**MAILPING\_CONFIGDIR**

**Override the location of the configuration directory. Default:** */etc/mailping*

**MAILPING\_STATEDIR**

**Override the location of the state directory. Circuit states are stored in the** *state* **subdirectory of this directory, in subdirectories named after the circuit name. Default:** */var/lib/mailping*
