bsnmpd + postfix

Hi,

I would like to monitor the postfix mailq with snmp requests. Someone know how to configure bsnmpd?

Thank you.
 
AFAIK, there are no "native" SNMP plugins for monitoring mail queues, of any kind, not just Postfix.

However, there are lots of plugins and scripts for monitoring mail queues in such a way that MRTG can monitor, and even graph, the data.

And, you can always write your own scripts for querying the mail queues for stats, and returning the data in a faux MIB to bsnmpd, which would then return the value to the SNMP client. See the "external" section of the config file.
 
Ok, I need snmp because my company supervisor system can do it only with snmp. My real question is: in which oid do I put my mailq value?
 
I remember I was able to do it once using net-snmp for sendmail and qmail. Key is to just use the exec in snmpd.conf and just a little shell script which returns a value which can be used a Gauge value.

Now I don't remember what exactly I did, but it was something similar to this.
