Is there a tool similar to pflogsumm (Postfix logs parser) for Dovecot?

  • 772

For monitoring my Postfix install I'm using pflogsumm, which parses the Postfix's logs and generates a nice summary.

I tried to find a similar tool for Dovecot, but couldn't. Is there such a thing?

Some clarifications:

  1. The tool has to be open source.
  2. We're using Dovecot only for POP3 protocol.

  1. There's a plugin already available for logwatch which will parse dovecot log files.

  2. If you need a log analyzer for Dovecot that just analyzes connections, IPs, errors and the like, then you can do this with Sawmill and the Dovecot Sawmill Plugin.

  3. You can try Octopussy project (disclaimer : my project).

    It can handle any kind of logs.

    It's clearly longer to make it works, but you can do a lot more when you've done !
