NetPacket provides a base class for a cluster of modules related to decoding and encoding of network protocol packets. Each NetPacket descendant module knows how to encode and decode packets for the network protocol it implements. Protocols that NetPacket can encode/decode include IPv4, TCP, UDP, ICMP, Ethernet, and ARP.
I've written three additional modules for NetPacket that allow the encoding/decoding of IPv6, ICMPv6, and OpenBSD's Packet Filter binary log files. I've also made numerous changes to existing modules, including fixing spelling mistakes, bug fixes, and documentation enhancements.
The goal here is to monitor servers running Postfix to determine the number of email messages delivered locally and abroad and to graph that data. The data will be made available via Net-SNMP for collection using your NMS of choice.
Postfix homepage: http://www.postfix.org/ Basis for this Work The methods outlined below are based on the work of Craig Sanders http://taz.net.au/postfix/mrtg/. Some things that are done different here:
Only one database file is used for storing the data instead of two.
The goal here is to monitor DNS servers running BIND version 9 and graph the various statistics that it records about itself. The statistics will be made available to the Net-SNMP daemon by a script. From there, the data can be polled by whatever NMS you choose to use.
