dovecot - Apr 2013 - IMAP monitoring

Dear Sir,

I want to get some statistics of dovecot IMAP server like the number of
current IMAP connections, who is logged in to the Dovecot server, bandwidth
usage.
Is there any utility which does this sort of full monitoring?
I tried doveadm who to get the details of logged in users.
but its not returning any output even though i am logged in to the server.

Thanks and regards,

Suja

You can sort of get that from the logs.  For example, from my logs

 	Apr 18 23:08:19 server dovecot: imap(user): Disconnected: Logged out in=9516
out=89038

telling you how many bytes tranferred in and out during the session.

"doveadm who" ought to work.  What does it return?

you might use the stats plugin

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Statistics

and/or collect something from rsyslog etc with different tools, nagios,
zabbix, xymon etc
