MAILPING-STORE(1) Mailping MAILPING-STORE(1)
NAME
mailping-store - store email from stdin to a mailping incoming maildir
SYNOPSIS
mailping-store
DESCRIPTION
mailping-store reads an email from standard input and writes it into a maildir chosen according to following logic:
1. If EXTENSION is not set, select Maildir.
2. If EXTENSION is set, ensure its value is safe to use, and select EXTENSION/incoming.
mailping-store is usually run from a .forward file, and thus the filenames above are relative to the home directory of the account in
question.
Normal use
Normally, mailping-store is used to ease the setup of new circuits to probe from mailping-cron. This is done with a system account mailping
using <mailping@yourhost.example.com> as the from address, and <mailping+circuitname@yourhost.example.com> (or some remote address aliased
to that) as the to address. In fact, these are the default values for from and to, so you can just skip creating those configuration files.
This allows adding new test circuits without any changes to the email configuration.
FILES
/var/lib/mailping/state/circuit/incoming
Maildir to store the email to.
/var/lib/mailping/state/Maildir/
Maildir to store the email to, if no extension was given.
ENVIRONMENT
MAILPING_STATEDIR
Override the location of the state directory. Circuit states are stored in the state subdirectory of this directory, in subdirectories
named after the circuit name. Default: /var/lib/mailping
EXTENSION
Name of the current circuit to store the mail for.

MAILPING-SUCCESS(1) Mailping MAILPING-SUCCESS(1)
NAME
mailping-success - Munin plugin to graph time since last mail delivery
SYNOPSIS
/usr/share/mailping/munin-plugins/mailping-success {[config] | ['']}
DESCRIPTION
mailping-success is a Munin plugin that monitors time passed since last successful email probe.
Configuration output
When passed config, it outputs Munin configuration information. If there are no circuits defined (no subdirectories in /etc/mailping), it
specifies that Munin should draw no graph either.
If configuration files /etc/mailping/circuit/warntime and /etc/mailping/circuit/failtime exist, the values in them are passed on to Munin,
for use in Nagios alert integration.
Value output
When passed an empty string '', mailping-success outputs the difference between current time and last successful probe, for each configured
circuit.
FILES
/etc/mailping/
List of circuits that exist; each subdirectory is a circuit.
/etc/mailping/circuit/warntime
If more than this many seconds have passed since last successful probe, a Nagios warning is triggered by Munin (assuming it has been
configured to do that). Default: no warnings.
/etc/mailping/circuit/failtime
If more than this many seconds have passed since last successful probe, a Nagios alert is triggered by Munin (assuming it has been
configured to do that). Default: no alerts.
/var/lib/mailping/state/circuit/success
Timestamp in seconds of the last successful probe for circuit.
ENVIRONMENT
MAILPING_CONFIGDIR
Override the location of the configuration directory. Default: /etc/mailping
MAILPING_STATEDIR
Override the location of the state directory. Circuit states are stored in the state subdirectory of this directory, in subdirectories
named after the circuit name. Default: /var/lib/mailping
