AXIGEN Reporting Service Configuration and Integration with Cacti
AXIGEN Reporting Service Configuration and Integration with Cacti
(NewDesignWorld Press Release Center) -- This extensive article describes in full details how to properly configure the AXIGEN reporting service, including the steps for adding AXIGEN activity charts, configuring the SNMP service and integrating the AXIGEN reports within the Cacti network graphing solution.
As with all modern email servers, AXIGEN also provides graphical reporting charts to monitor the server’s health and display its status in a quick fashion. This feature has been designed to provide servers administrators with great flexibility and an extensive range of parameters to monitor. For this purpose, a graphical representation offers a faster and more detailed view of what exactly is going on with the services provided by the AXIGEN Mail Server.
Another alternative would be using complicated command-line tools and commands to search for the needed information, a time consuming action that would also take a lot of server resources that could otherwise be redirected to other tasks. In this respect, the reporting feature does not cause a visible overhead since it is based on data that is recorded in real-time at an user adjustable interval, and not on processing log files. It offers access to the information in a fine-grained fashion, with a low resource usage.
By reading this article, you will find out how to make best use of the AXIGEN reporting service, including the steps for adding AXIGEN performance charts, configuring SNMP parameters and integrating the AXIGEN Mail Server reports within the Cacti network graphing solution.
1. Reporting Configurations based on Frequently Used Parameters
1.1 Enabling the AXIGEN Reporting Service
First, you need to enable the Reporting service using the Web Administration interface (WebAdmin):
* Login to the WebAdmin interface and click on the Services drop-down menu;
* Click on the Services Management tab at the top;
* Locate the Reporting service in the displayed list of AXIGEN running services and click on its corresponding START button.
1.2 Chart Configuration Steps
Now that the Reporting service is enabled, you can further navigate to the Status &
Monitoring tab in WebAdmin and configure your first chart:
* Click on the Status & Monitoring drop-down menu;
* Click on the Charts tab.
When first viewing the Charts page, a list of pre-configured charts and their corresponding groups will be displayed. These charts are automatically created by AXIGEN and record information based on common parameters that frequently interest server administrators, such as the system load average, the quantity of messages stored in the queue or number of HTTP user messages read, SMTP inbound messages, SMTP outbound total connections, IMAP total connections, POP3 total connections and much more. Clicking on one of the Chart Groups on the left will result in displaying all the charts assigned to that specific group and enable you to edit or delete them. As a note, these pre-made charts may not meet every administrator\'s requirements right from the beginning, but they can be used as a starting point for creating additional ones, of great help for sysadmins.
