43.10 Using Platform-Specific MTA Monitoring Tools

Each operating system where the MTA runs provides tools for monitoring programs.

Linux:

You can use SNMP tools like snmpget and snmpwalk that allow you to retrieve the data about all the services registered with the SNMP service. These tools are part of the NET-SNMP package. See your Linux documentation for additional monitoring suggestions.

Windows:

You can use the Performance Monitor in Windows Administrator Tools to gather similar information. See your Windows documentation for additional monitoring suggestions.
