# Mailcow-CheckMK

## CheckMK Special Agent for Mailcow

Monitors various aspects of a Mailcow instance:

Email domains with quota usage, number of mailboxes, number of aliases

Mailboxes with quota usage, number of messages, last logins via IMAP/POP3/SMTP

You have to create an API Key for the MKP to work. Login to your Mailcow instance and go to

	System|Configuration

Take a note of the section API, expand it and activate "Activate API" in the section "Read-Only Access"

Don't forget to insert the IP of your CheckMK instance into the textbox "Allow API access from these IPs/CIDR networks".

## Caveats:
Tested only with dockerized versions of Mailcow

Tested with Mailcow version 2022-07a and higher

Please feel free to add other working environments via review/email.

## General installation instructions:

1. Upload and enable the MKP
2. Apply changes

5. Create a new rule and fill in all mandatory information (Hostname, API Key)
6. Adjust all other options to your needs
7. Bind this rule to your Mailcow host object (e.g. via "Explicit hosts")
8. If you have no host object at all, create a dummy host for this (with no IP or something like 127.0.0.2)
9. Assure that your agents settings for this host object are correct (must contain "Configured API integrations")
10. Apply your changes
11. Execute a service discovery on your Mailcow host(s) and accept the newly detected services
