# OpenSMTPD Input Plugin

This plugin gathers stats from [OpenSMTPD - a FREE implementation of the server-side SMTP protocol](https://www.opensmtpd.org/)

## Configuration

```toml
 [[inputs.opensmtpd]]
   ## If running as a restricted user you can prepend sudo for additional access:
   #use_sudo = false

   ## The default location of the smtpctl binary can be overridden with:
   binary = "/usr/sbin/smtpctl"

   # The default timeout of 1s can be overridden with:
   #timeout = "1s"
```

## Permissions

It's important to note that this plugin references smtpctl, which may require additional permissions to execute successfully.
Depending on the user/group permissions of the telegraf user executing this plugin, you may need to alter the group membership, set facls, or use sudo.

**Group membership (Recommended)**:

```bash
$ groups telegraf
telegraf : telegraf

$ usermod -a -G opensmtpd telegraf

$ groups telegraf
telegraf : telegraf opensmtpd
```

**Sudo privileges**:
If you use this method, you will need the following in your telegraf config:

```toml
[[inputs.opensmtpd]]
  use_sudo = true
```

You will also need to update your sudoers file:

```bash
$ visudo
# Add the following line:
Cmnd_Alias SMTPCTL = /usr/sbin/smtpctl
telegraf  ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: SMTPCTL
Defaults!SMTPCTL !logfile, !syslog, !pam_session
```

Please use the solution you see as most appropriate.

```shell
 telegraf --config etc/telegraf.conf --input-filter opensmtpd --test
