OK. As it stands the upstream is unusable to me.

It's not maintained and no events are parsed/generated on my system.

I found an extensive fork on github that works and created the package.

It's so divergent it deserves its own package

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/prometheus-postfix-exporter-hsn723

Works fine even though it uses quite a bit of memory.

This should add a line like:

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/conf.d/prometheus-postfix-exporter

to the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/prometheus-postfix-exporter.service

and replace

ExecStart=/usr/bin/prometheus-postfix-exporter $POSTFIX_EXPORTER_ARGS

As is customary for there Prometheus services

You get the idea.

The reason is that this way it's much easier to configure the service.

also, if you're using systemd then it has to run with the group systemd-journal

@lithium_sulfate thanks for pointing that out! I'm currently on the go, but I'll get onto that tonight once I'm home :)

Thank you for maintaining this package. It currently fails to build in a chroot because it depends on systemd libraries. Would you consider adding systemd to its makedepends? Thanks.
