Exim Queue Size Plugin

This module monitors the total queue size when using exim. The module runs the exim -bpc command to retrieve the total mail queue size.

Reported Metrics

• Total Queue Size

Dependencies

The agent360 user needs sudo access to run exim -bpc. Open the /etc/sudoers file and append the following at the end of the file:

agent360 ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/exim 

This command assumes that exim is installed in /usr/sbin/exim.

Configure the plugin

Now open the /etc/agent360-custom.ini file and append the following lines at the end of the file:

[exim]
enabled = yes

Test the plugin

Run the sudo -u agent360 agent360 test exim command to see if everything is installed correctly:

exim:{"queue_size": 0}

Now you can restart the agent with the service agent360 restart command.
