eximstate

Introduction

eximstate is a pair of programs (a client and a server) which monitor the sizes of queues on Exim mail servers. The following data is stored by the server:

• total message on queue
• how many of those are frozen
• how many of those are bounces

The client, running on each of the mail servers, takes a sample of data every 300 seconds (configurable) and sends this data to the server, which stores it for later retrieval.

The server draws graphs from the data to give an at-a-glance view of the queues on all the servers.

There is also a console utility, similar to NOCOL, which displays the latest readings from each of the clients.
