Hi, I'm searching for a possibility to have the rawlog feature in lua, which
would be much easier for processing. Currently Dovecot, when activating rawlog
for a user, writes everything to disk (which creates I/O), and I have to
somehow read it from there. That's a bit complicated, because I have to get
notified via inotify or similar when there are new files created, and then I
have to start a "tail" or "epoll" mechanism on the files to get the contents in
more or less real time (IMAP sessions can be multiple hours or days). It
would be much easier to hook to the "raw request and response events" inside
Dovecot and have the rawlog-data in a lua script, where I can prepare it and
send it to another maschine for monitoring/collection/analysis/statistics or
similar, for example via HTTP. Having the rawlog data available in lua would
make things a lot easier. Is there any possibility at the moment to create a
lua script and "hook" to those "request and response events"? If not, would it
be possible to add that feature in the future? Kind regards
Michael
