# Dovecot monitoring with Netdata
Provides statistics information from Dovecot server.
Statistics are taken from dovecot socket by executing `EXPORT global` command.
More information about dovecot stats can be found on [project wiki page.](http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Statistics)
Module isn't compatible with new statistic api (v2.3), but you are still able to use the module with Dovecot v2.3
by following [upgrading steps.](https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.3).
**Requirement:**
Dovecot UNIX socket with R/W permissions for user `netdata` or Dovecot with configured TCP/IP socket.
Module gives information with following charts:
1. **sessions**
- active sessions
2. **logins**
- logins
3. **commands** - number of IMAP commands
- commands
4. **Faults**
- minor
- major
5. **Context Switches**
- voluntary
- involuntary
6. **disk** in bytes/s
- read
- write
7. **bytes** in bytes/s
- read
- write
8. **number of syscalls** in syscalls/s
- read
- write
9. **lookups** - number of lookups per second
- path
- attr
10. **hits** - number of cache hits
- hits
11. **attempts** - authorization attempts
- success
- failure
12. **cache** - cached authorization hits
- hit
- miss
## Configuration
Edit the `python.d/dovecot.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the Netdata [config
directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
```bash
cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/dovecot.conf
```
Sample:
```yaml
localtcpip:
name : 'local'
host : '127.0.0.1'
port : 24242
localsocket:
name : 'local'
socket : '/var/run/dovecot/stats'
```
If no configuration is given, module will attempt to connect to dovecot using unix socket localized in `/var/run/dovecot/stats`
