Zimba Server Status Script

[tempusfugit]

Hi all!
I'm presently being helped with a problem, and after reviewing the forums for several hours, I decided to craft a script that gathers some common info that the admins seems to request oftenly, and dump that to a textfile for easy upload:

#!/bin/bash
echo "###DNS SETTINGS###" > zminfo
cat /etc/hosts >> zminfo
cat /etc/resolv.conf >> zminfo

# Replace yourdomain with your FQDN of your mailserver
dig yourdomain mx >> zminfo
dig yourdomain any >> zminfo

echo "###HOSTNAME SETTINGS###" >> zminfo
host `hostname` >> zminfo

echo "###LISTENING PORTS###" >> zminfo
netstat -luntp >> zminfo

echo "###ZIMBRA STATUS###" >> zminfo
uname -a >> zminfo
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol status 2>&1 >> zminfo
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol -v status 2>&1 >> zminfo


Just copy/paste this to a file locally, chmod +x it, and run it as the root user. Obviously, we can tweak this a little more until it meets everyone's approval, but I would like this be promoted to a sticky on the forums, I think it would make everyone's lives easier.

i think its a good idea as uxbod alsways ask for these helpful info commands and we can come up with a combined one as a script and all of us can use it as a link in the signature or sticky

i suggest follwing few top of my head ...

### version ####
zmcontrol -v

### HD Space ####
df -h
du -sh /opt/zimbra
du -sh /opt/zimbra/logger
du -sh /opt/zimbra/logs
du -sh /opt/zimbra/store

echo "###ZIMBRA STATUS###" >> zminfo
ps -u zimbra >> zminfo
df -h >> zminfo
du -sh /opt/zimbra >> zminfo
du -sh /opt/zimbra/logger >> zminfo
du -sh /opt/zimbra/log >> zminfo
du -sh /opt/zimbra/store >> zminfo
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol status 2>&1 >> zminfo
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol -v status 2>&1 >> zminfo

Integrated Raj's remarks. I saw that /opt/zimbra/log was the path that was available on my server, so I used that. I also added the ps -u zimbra line, I recall seeing that a few times.

ran this and found few things..

1) you have mailserver name mail.extremexposures.net hardcoded.

2) ###RECENT ZIMBRA LOG### this can reveal good EMAIL ID's and sensitive info about users system.. i dont know if its a good idea to have that without asking

i guess the best script should assume user dont know much and also if no input was given script should run..
so we need to make MAILSERVER_NAME optional which could be taken as pram to the script i.e: ./myinfoscript.sh MAILSERVER_NAME


more contructive input will come as we keep it up

Better add some memory/CPU info to it as well:

#!/bin/bash
echo "###DNS SETTINGS###" > zminfo
cat /etc/hosts >> zminfo
cat /etc/resolv.conf >> zminfo

# Replace yourdomain with your FQDN of your mailserver
dig yourdomain mx >> zminfo
dig yourdomain any >> zminfo
echo "###HOSTNAME SETTINGS###" >> zminfo
host `hostname` >> zminfo
uname -a >> zminfo
echo "###LISTENING PORTS###" >> zminfo
netstat -luntp >> zminfo
echo "###ZIMBRA STATUS###" >> zminfo
free -m >> zminfo
cat /proc/meminfo >> zminfo
cat /proc/cpuinfo >> zminfo
ps -u zimbra >> zminfo
df -h >> zminfo
du -sh /opt/zimbra >> zminfo
du -sh /opt/zimbra/logger >> zminfo
du -sh /opt/zimbra/log >> zminfo
du -sh /opt/zimbra/store >> zminfo
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol status 2>&1 >> zminfo
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol -v status 2>&1 >> zminfo

I was thinking of doing a dump of "dmidecode" as it gives a quite relevant listing of the server/computer hardware, but that's quite a long dump, but may be useful in some instances. I also removed the dump of the log as per Raj's remarks. I guess if someone is a better script writer than I, they can consider log obfuscation.
