Monitoring method for POP3 protocol

The following monitoring methods are supported for POP3 protocol:

Log based monitoring

The default option recommended for POP3 monitoring is through Logs. This method involves monitoring logs of a specific POP3 server and is more efficient in terms of resource usage compared to monitoring network traffic. Moreover, it also supports SSL/TLS connections and detection of usernames.

POP3 Server

The following POP3 servers are supported for now:

Log files directory

Specify log files directory used by selected POP3 server.

Traffic based monitoring

The alternative option for monitoring POP3 is through traffic. This method can be used with any POP3 server, but consumes more resources compared to monitoring via logs. It's also important to note that this method does not provide support for SSL/TLS connections or detection of usernames.

Traffic based POP3 monitoring

POP3 Monitoring via Traffic

  • WinPcap - Works on all Windows Editions, WinPcap must be installed.
