XStat
XStat is a simple and easy-to-use tool, which
allows administrators of mail servers running Microsoft Exchange
5.x together with the E-Mail firewall XWall from DataEnter, Austria,
to create statistics about the SMTP usage of the server, especially
the Exchange Internet Connector.
Predefined reports in XStat
XStat is interesting especially for ISP's or other companies
running multiple mail domains on their Exchange server and want
to track the in- and/or outgoing traffic being created by particular
domains or users.
How XStat works
XStat reads and imports the Srxxxx.CSV logfiles created by XWall
and writes them to an SQL database. This can be eiter Microsoft
SQL Server 7/2000 or the MSDE (Microsoft Database Engine), which
also may be installed on a Windows NT/2000/XP workstation. MSDE
is also contained on the XStat installation CD. The import may
be run manually or automatically, i.e. every day at 01:00 AM.
XWall does not necessarily need to run on the same machine like
MS Exchange and/or XWall, but it may do so.
Monthly Analysis
For monthly results you can select one particular domain mainained
by Exchange/XWall or all domains hosted on your server. Then you
select a month and a year to be analyzed. Monthly report for multiple
domains
After clicking on the Button "Monthly results" a report
will be created that shows the traffic in Megabytes and the number
of E-Mail-Items for one particular domain or all domains.
Yearly Analysis
Yearly reports have to be created for each domain seperately.
Chose the year an the domain, then click on the "Yearly results"
button and a report will be created, showing the traffic and nu,mber
of E-Mail items of the selected domain for each month of the year.
Yearly report for a particular domain
"Top Ten"
These reports are also very interesting for the administrator.
They contain:
Top outgoing Senders
Top outgoing Recipients
Top incoming Senders
Top incoming Recipients
Top outgoing domains
Top incoming doamins
For each report a time period (one particular month or a entire
year), a creatain domain or all and the number of results to be
displayed may be selected.
The reports may be sorted by number of items or by amount of network
trafic (message size).
Detailed view of a custom search
All entries you make will be combined with the "AND"-Operator.
You also may specify only parts of an expression. I.e. if you
type "mort" into the subject entry field all occurences
of this phrase within the subject information will be found, i.e.
also the word "mortgage" which is frequently used in
Spam mails.
If the history-feature of XWall is activated, which means, that
messages sent and received are stored on the server, you are even
able to view the contents of the messages, by doubleclicking on
a entry in the results table.
