With this enhancement, setting the variable enables the `pmdapostfix` metrics agent on the system, making statistics about `postfix` available.	Story Points:	---

Description Nathan Scott 2022-02-07 22:43:27 UTC

Provide a mechanism whereby Postfix service setup by RHEL system roles (postfix role) have observability enabled (metrics role) and integrated with metric data recording, and any necessary rules are created and enabled.

PCP supports postfix metrics via pmdapostfix(1) so this is a matter of enabling that agent (probably via a metrics_from_postfix variable in the metrics role) and ensuring any postfix configuration to enable metrics is done, any required additional tools are installed and functional (qshape), and so on.

Comment 3 Rich Megginson 2022-04-25 22:40:42 UTC

@nathans how does a user of the metrics role indicate that they want to collect postfix metrics?  Do we need to add a `metrics_from_postfix` variable to https://github.com/linux-system-roles/metrics/blob/main/defaults/main.yml ?

Comment 4 Nathan Scott 2022-04-25 23:18:57 UTC

Hi Rich,

Yep - sorry, my bad - I haven't yet merged:
https://github.com/linux-system-roles/metrics/pull/110

Will check CI once more (IIRC the failure there was unrelated last I looked) and merge shortly.

cheers.
