Getting Server Status

Once KumoMTA is installed, you can check on the server status with systemctl.

sudo systemctl status kumomta

The result should look something like this:

 kumomta.service - KumoMTA SMTP service
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/kumomta.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Thu 2023-04-27 22:59:06 MST; 10h ago

The above is from a newer installation, but the log will grow. If you are debugging an older install, journalctl -r -n 10 -u kumomta.service will show the last 10 lines (-n 10) in reverse order (-r). man journalctl is your friend.

If you need to find the installed version, you can run sudo /opt/kumomta/sbin/kumod --version. This will be important if you ever need to reach out for support.

If you have configured an HTTP listener, you can access server metrics with curl -i 'http://localhost:8000/metrics'. That will show a long form of the server metrics with detailed comments. If you want just the data in a nice JSON format, use curl -i 'http://localhost:8000/metrics.json.

Metrics available are:

connection_count: number of active connections

connection_count{service="esmtp_listener"} 0

lua_count: the number of lua contexts currently alive

lua_count 0

lua_load_count: how many times the policy lua script has been loaded into a new context

lua_load_count 1

lua_spare_count: the number of lua contexts available for reuse in the pool

lua_spare_count 0

memory_limit: soft memory limit measured in bytes

memory_limit 12583633920

memory_usage: number of bytes of used memory

memory_usage 277835776
