Push Postfix Logs to a mongodb with Perl

• Edit MongoDB Servers and Login Data in Scripts.

• Edit the postfix logfile to what you got. Nowadays it seems to be mail.log

• Use meta.pl --initial for first time push to access all compressed logs and then use meta.pl without argument for ongoing push

• You may customize the logging daemon for longer results by create (for example) /etc/logrotate.d/mail

    Example
  
    /var/log/mail.info
    /var/log/mail.warn
    /var/log/mail.err
    /var/log/mail.log
    {
            rotate 90
            daily
            missingok
            notifempty
            compress
            delaycompress
            sharedscripts
            postrotate
                    /etc/init.d/postfix reload > /dev/null
            endscript
    }
  
    And comment out in /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog:
  
    #/var/log/mail.info
    #/var/log/mail.warn
    #/var/log/mail.err
    #/var/log/mail.log
  

• For deprecation warning on modern systems change "insert" to "insert_one" in scripts.
