Hi,

Sorry for the response delay. I think the reason is that maillog on CentOs 7 goes through journalctl. What is you sendmailanalyzer command? Are you using the --journalctl option to replace logfile?

Regards,

Hi,

My sendmailanalyzer command is below in startup script. Moreover, stats don't update in real time, they update after one day

ExecStart=/usr/local/sendmailanalyzer/sendmailanalyzer -f

Does the sendmailanalyzer daemon is running during the day? What is the result of command ps auwx | grep sendmailanalyzer | grep -v grep ?

Hum, you have two sendmailanalyzer running, this is not normal unless you have two different installation and logfile to process. If this is not the case, please kill both processes and restart sendmailanalyzer using systemctl start sendmailanalyzer then verify that you just have one process running.

Yes, two processes are running. Check details below

root 26426 0.0 0.2 141276 8940 ? Ss Mar10 0:52 sendmailanalyzer

The above started on March 10 and still running.

Other below process started today at 4AM using cron job from following cron task

Process: root 12794 0.1 0.7 162616 27964 ? Ss 04:04 0:08 sendmailanalyzer
Cron Task:

# Daemon restart after maillog logrotate (cron jobs at 4:04 every day)
# Feel free to replace this line by an entry in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
4 4 * * *     root  /bin/systemctl restart sendmailanalyzer > /dev/null 2>&1

Cron Task File is /etc/cron.d/sendmailanalyzer

Should I disable this cron?

Yes you have to remove it and use logrotate to restart sendmailanalyzer. In /etc/logrotate.d/syslog add this to the postrotate section:

/usr/bin/systemctl restart sendmailanalyzer.service > /dev/null 2>&1 || true

By default sendmailanalyzer refresh the data files each five seconds so obviously it only depend of the number of entries in your log and at which frequency you are refreshing the report in the browser. There is no automatic refresh in the CGI.

But if you need speed in the CGI interface you have to run sa_cache frequently to constantly update the statistics. I recommend you to set the following in your crontab:

# On huge MTA you may want to have five minutes caching
*/5 * * * * /usr/local/sendmailanalyzer/sa_cache -a > /dev/null 2>&1

So in this case you will have a pre-calculated interval of five minutes.
