# Proxmox Mail Gateway (PMG) Monitoring
Pulse 5.0 adds support for monitoring Proxmox Mail Gateway instances alongside your PVE and PBS infrastructure.
## Features
- **Mail Queue Monitoring**: Track active, deferred, and held messages
- **Spam Statistics**: View spam detection rates and virus blocks
- **Cluster Status**: Monitor PMG cluster node health
- **Quarantine Overview**: See quarantine size and pending reviews
## Adding a PMG Instance
### Via Settings UI
1. Navigate to **Settings → Proxmox**
2. Click **Add Node**
3. Select **Proxmox Mail Gateway** as the type
4. Enter connection details:
- Host: Your PMG IP or hostname
- Port: 8006 (default)
- API Token ID: e.g., `root@pam!pulse`
- API Token Secret: Your token secret
### Via Discovery
Pulse can automatically discover PMG instances on your network:
1. Go to **Settings → Discovery**
2. Enable network discovery
3. PMG instances on port 8006 will be detected
4. Click to add discovered instances
## API Token Setup on PMG
Create an API token on your PMG server:
```bash
# SSH to your PMG server
pveum user token add root@pam pulse --privsep 0
# Note the token secret - it's only shown once!
```
Required permissions:
- `Sys.Audit` - Read system status
- `Datastore.Audit` - Read mail statistics
## Dashboard
The Mail Gateway tab shows:
| Metric | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Mail Processed** | Total emails processed today |
| **Spam Rate** | Percentage of spam detected |
| **Virus Blocked** | Malicious emails caught |
| **Queue Depth** | Messages pending delivery |
| **Quarantine Size** | Emails in quarantine |
### Status Indicators
- 🟢 **Healthy**: Normal operation
- 🟡 **Warning**: Queue building up or high spam rate
- 🔴 **Critical**: Delivery issues or cluster problems
## Alerts
Configure alerts for PMG metrics in **Settings → Alerts**:
- Queue depth exceeding threshold
- Spam rate spike
- Delivery failures
- Cluster node offline
## Multi-Instance Support
Monitor multiple PMG instances from a single Pulse dashboard:
- Compare spam rates across gateways
- Aggregate mail statistics
- View cluster-wide health
## Troubleshooting
### Connection refused
1. Verify PMG is accessible on port 8006
2. Check firewall rules
3. Ensure API token has correct permissions
### No statistics showing
1. Wait for initial data collection (may take 1-2 polling cycles)
2. Verify PMG has mail activity
3. Check Pulse logs for API errors
### Cluster nodes missing
1. PMG cluster must be properly configured
2. API token needs cluster-wide permissions
3. All nodes must be reachable from Pulse
