Recently deployed a Cloud-based email gateway, and after a couple of hiccups, now being asked to put some monitoring in place to verify that msgs are stacked up/delayed going through the Cloud provider.
Its not a challenge to create a script to fire off email's on an interval, but then validating that the msgs got to the recipient mailbox in a timely manner could be tricky.
Splunk is already in the environment (handling the SMTP gateway logs, the middle of the mail flow).
Has anyone already done something like this w/ Splunk, or would I be better served w/ a dedicated monitoring tool?
Thanks,
Robert
