I did not even know, I just picked the first one from the example to search for
It should be on this page, because I do not see it there?
https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/list_of_events/#list-of-events
I wonder even if this is correct, because from the event name I would assume
this metric is calculated when a client disconnects. When I use the example, I
have 0 connections. When I change it to client_connection_connected I have 2
connections, which seems to better represent the current situation.
metric client_connections {
#filter = event=client_connection_connected
filter = event=client_connection_finnished
}
But this seems to be an always increasing counter. I wonder now if dovecot is
even having a metric that shows the current client connections. Or should one
combine the two metrices client_connection_connected -
client_connection_finnished to get this value? It is not really clear from this
openmetrics page[1]
I think it would be nice to have this example be something useful and long. It
is easier to remove some metrics from the example, than searching for events
fields etc creating your own.
