Description
This script helps you to monitor message flow in a NoSpamProxy environment using a PRTG custom PowerShell sensor.
This custom sensor contains the following five channels:
- In/Out Success
Total of inbound/outbound successfully delivered messages over the last X minutes - Inbound Success
Number of inbound successfully delivered messages over the last X minutes - Outbound Success
Number of outbound successfully delivered messages over the last X minutes - Inbound PermanentlyBlocked
Number of inbound blocked messages over the last X minutes - Outbound DeliveryPending
Number of outbound messages with pending delivery over the last X minutes
The default interval is five minutes. But you might want to change the interval as needed for your environment.
These channels can easily be modified and additional channels can be added as well.
NoSpamProxy is a powerful anti-spam gateway solution providing additonal functionality like centralized S/MIME and PGP encryption for on-premises and Exchange Online deployments.
PRTG is a industry standard system monitoring solution.
Examples
The script itself does not take any additional attributes and is called by PRTG probe.
To verify your setup, you easily execute the PowerShell script. It returns a Xml result.
PS C:\Scripts> .\Get-NoSpamProxyPrtgData.ps1In/Out Success 0 Count Inbound Success 0 Count Outbound Success 0 Count Inbound PermanentlyBlocked 0 Count Inbound DeliveryPending 0 Count 10 1
The PRTG channel configuration
The following screenshot shows PRTG example graphs.
Notes
The custom PowerShell script must be saved to the following location of the PRTG probe:
[INSTALLPATH]\PRTG Network Monitor\Custom Sensors\EXEXML
Ensure to have the PowerShell execution policy set correctly. Otherwise the PRTG service won't be able to execute the PowerShell script.
Ensure that the service account used by the PRTG probe has access to the script and is a member of the NoSpamProxy Monitoring Administrators security group.
