but this makes it hard to merge right away, no? also, there is an "mtail" debian package which is probably better to use than downloading from google server and unpacking etc. |

| If you want to collect the metrics with Prometheus, | ||
| setup a private network (e.g. WireGuard interface) | ||
| and assign an IP address from this network to the host. | ||
| If unsure, set this setting to `127.0.0.1`. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
why is it a required setting? It should be fine to leave it empty, and then no mtail is setup or run?

This runs
mtailat localhost, so you can queryhttp://127.0.0.1:3903/metricsand get metrics collected by parsing the log files to get some counters of the number of sent/received mails.This can then be plugged into Prometheus. Setting up Prometheus is outside of the scope of cmdeploy.
What is missing is a setting in the .ini file to set the host and port. Listening on 127.0.0.1 is not very useful, normally you would have a wireguard network for metric collection and make mtail listen on the IP address from this network.
Another problem currently is that deployment fails while trying to copy
mtailbinary if it is already running. We should stopmtailservice before replacing the binary somehow.
