POSTFIX support
Ruben Alvarez
I want to extend agents for monitorizing POSTFIX. I think that there is
a MTA-MIB, but only SENDMAIL is currently supported. Is this correct?.
Well, in case of my assumption was right, how does this problem can be
attached?.Shall I write a POSTFIX-MIB? Is this a manageable matter?
Very thanks!.
Regards

No.
It would be better to write an implementation module for postfix,
that would implement the MTA-MIB.
The idea of SNMP is that the MIB definitions are independent of the system
(O/S or application) that you're working with. But the implementation
of that MIB *does* need to be specific to that system.
So ideally we'd have:
- a sendmail implementation of the MTA-MIB
- an exim implementation of the MTA-MIB
- a postfix implementation of the MTA-MIB
- a qmail implementation of the MTA-MIB
<etc, etc>
To date, only one such implementation has been written (for sendmail).
But if you're happy to tackle writing a postfix implementation,
I'm sure we'd be delighted to add it to the distribution.
