Monitors, LFD & Mail Queue

Govern system tracking daemons, monitor outgoing SMTP mail queues, set up live process and crontab sensors, and query public blacklist reputations (DNSBL).

Log Failure Daemon​

Control background monitoring rules, trace jail variables, or exclude friendly systems from tracking routines.

Manage LFD Daemon State​

Get current LFD runner state:

cpgcli lfd --status

Restart LFD engine:

cpgcli lfd --restart

Exclude Friendly Services from Tracking​

Prevent service processes (such as SSH) from triggering jail bans:

cpgcli lfd --ignore sshd

Check currently ignored services:

cpgcli lfd --ignore --list

Remove service exceptions:

cpgcli lfd --ignore --remove sshd

Outbound Spam Monitor​

Deploy SMTP safeguards to track mail queues, rate limits, and block spam outbreaks.

List OSM Configuration Space​

Check existing SMTP policies and thresholds:

cpgcli osm --list

Enable OSM​

cpgcli osm --enable

Disable OSM​

cpgcli osm --disable

Set Rate Threshold Metrics​

Set strict message caps per minute:

cpgcli osm --minute-threshold 60

Or specify maximum safe metrics on hourly parameters:

cpgcli osm --hourly-threshold 500

Exclude Trusted IP Addresses​

cpgcli osm --whitelist-ips --add 10.0.0.1

Remove IP exception:

cpgcli osm --whitelist-ips --remove 10.0.0.1

Exclude Trusted Sender Emails​

cpgcli osm --whitelist-email --add [email protected]

Exclude Active Working Directories (CWD)​

Force exception paths for safe mass-mailing scripts:

cpgcli osm --whitelist-cwd-prefix --add /home/user/tmp

Register Custom Spam Header and Body Patterns​

Block outgoing emails matching custom regex text:

cpgcli osm --spam-pattern --add 'from .* viagra'

Live Process Monitor​

Observe running host files, trace patterns, and bypass specific background tasks.

Enable Process Monitoring​

cpgcli process-monitor --enable

Disable Process Monitoring​

cpgcli process-monitor --disable

Exclude Friendly Processes​

Prevent matching executables or command lines from triggering protection alerts:

cpgcli process-monitor --whitelist --add '/usr/bin/safe-job'

Review Process Whitelist Entries​

cpgcli process-monitor --whitelist --list

Remove Process Exclusion​

cpgcli process-monitor --whitelist --remove '/usr/bin/safe-job'

Exclude Trustworthy Users​

Bypasses all active processes launched by specific users:

cpgcli process-monitor --whitelist-users --add user1

List User Whitelisting​

cpgcli process-monitor --whitelist-users --list

Remove User Exception​

cpgcli process-monitor --whitelist-users --remove user1

Cron Monitor​

Scan and manage host cron spaces for suspicious modifications or anomalous background injections.

Enable Cron Monitoring​

cpgcli cron-monitor --enable

Disable Cron Monitoring​

cpgcli cron-monitor --disable

Exclude Friendly Cron Spaces​

Prevent specific users' cron schedules from being flagged:

cpgcli cron-monitor --whitelist-users --add user1

Review Cron User Whitelist​

cpgcli cron-monitor --whitelist-users --list

Remove User Cron Exception​

cpgcli cron-monitor --whitelist-users --remove user1

IP reputation monitoring​

Monitor and query public sender space blocks to prevent blacklist drops.

Enable Automatic Reputation Monitor​

cpgcli ip-reputation --enable

Disable Automatic Reputation Monitor​

cpgcli ip-reputation --disable

Check Specific Host IP​

Run live queries against the DNSBL / RBL database feeds:

cpgcli ip-reputation --check 1.1.1.1

Review Historical Status Findings​

Check overall scanner evaluations:

cpgcli ip-reputation --result

Or filter for a target address:

cpgcli ip-reputation --result 1.1.1.1

Add Host/IP to Monitor​

cpgcli ip-reputation --add-ip 198.51.100.10

Remove Monitored IP​

cpgcli ip-reputation --remove-ip 198.51.100.10

Manage DNSBL Query Servers​

Query curated block lists check engines:

cpgcli ip-reputation --list-hosts --available

Add Custom Check Hostnames​

Add customized check hostnames manually:

cpgcli ip-reputation --add-host zen.spamhaus.org
