Hi,


just a question:

Is anyone aware of a prometheus frontend for nncp, passing the data 
given by nncp-stat (peers, tx/rx packets, bytes) to prometheus, e.g. to 
warn/alert if the number of packages or time since last contact exceeds 
a limit?


If not, I'd propose to add a prometheus exporter function to nncp-stat, see

https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/writing_exporters/

where go is the language of choice.


best regards

Hadmut

  I have not heard of any prometheus exporter for nncp, but it would be 
  nice to have.

    The other thing it would be very nice to have, which may already exist,
    is the ability for nncp-daemon to auto-toss every <time interval> as
    specified in the config file.  That would allow reducing a Kubernetes
    NNCPNet deployment to a Postfix container, an NNCP container, a Dovecot
    container, a Service exposing Postfix/465 and Dovecot/993, a shared
    Persistent Volume, and some system for provisioning users/passwords.
    
    Actually at this point integrating a CalDAV server would get you most of
    the way to an Outlook/Exchange replacement if the NNCPNet node was
    configured as an Internet bridge.

      This already exists; see
      https://nncp.mirrors.quux.org/nncp_002ddaemon.html and in particular the
      autotoss options.
