Hi Rasmus and the rest! I've just gotten around to install munin on some boxes, which runs fine, and now I went on to install dlog, which is the most important plugin that I want to use with munin to monitor my qpsmtpd install, it is a very interesting thing! I suppose this is a question mainly for Rasmus, but as others might be interested, I CC the list.
I have a Debian Sarge system that I try this on (my main server), but I also have a Debian Etch that I can use to test, even a recent Ubuntu if it seems likely that the problem is due to old software. I think I got dlog installed properly, no errors in the compilation, and everything looks fine in /usr/local/dlog/ . Also, I get a usage message if I run the binaries. I get no results in my munin graphs, though, and nothing when I try to run the plugins manually. I found that it wasn't quite clear what LOGDIR should be, so I started experimenting by calling dodlog.pl on the command line. I've tried the following /usr/local/dlog/bin/dodlog.pl qpsmtpd raw /var/log/qpsmtpd/ /usr/local/dlog/bin/dodlog.pl qpsmtpd raw /var/log/qpsmtpd/qpsmtpd.log /usr/local/dlog/bin/dodlog.pl qpsmtpd raw /var/log/qpsmtpd/* /usr/local/dlog/bin/dodlog.pl qpsmtpd raw /var/log/mail.log /usr/local/dlog/bin/dodlog.pl qpsmtpd raw /var/log/ The third throws an error, none of the others return any result. I run these commands as root, so I can't see how it could be a permission problem (also, for the munin usage, I've put the munin user into the adm group, which should give it access to reading logs). So, with permissions that should be OK, and having tried different logdir paths, what else could there be? Cheers, Kjetil
