1# parsedmarc {#module-services-parsedmarc}
2[parsedmarc](https://domainaware.github.io/parsedmarc/) is a service
3which parses incoming [DMARC](https://dmarc.org/) reports and stores
4or sends them to a downstream service for further analysis. In
5combination with Elasticsearch, Grafana and the included Grafana
6dashboard, it provides a handy overview of DMARC reports over time.
7
8## Basic usage {#module-services-parsedmarc-basic-usage}
9A very minimal setup which reads incoming reports from an external
10email address and saves them to a local Elasticsearch instance looks
11like this:
12
13```nix
14services.parsedmarc = {
15 enable = true;
16 settings.imap = {
17 host = "imap.example.com";
18 user = "alice@example.com";
19 password = "/path/to/imap_password_file";
20 };
21 provision.geoIp = false; # Not recommended!
22};
23```
24
25Note that GeoIP provisioning is disabled in the example for
26simplicity, but should be turned on for fully functional reports.
27
28## Local mail {#module-services-parsedmarc-local-mail}
29Instead of watching an external inbox, a local inbox can be
30automatically provisioned. The recipient's name is by default set to
31`dmarc`, but can be configured in
32[services.parsedmarc.provision.localMail.recipientName](options.html#opt-services.parsedmarc.provision.localMail.recipientName). You
33need to add an MX record pointing to the host. More concretely: for
34the example to work, an MX record needs to be set up for
35`monitoring.example.com` and the complete email address that should be
36configured in the domain's dmarc policy is
37`dmarc@monitoring.example.com`.
38
39```nix
40services.parsedmarc = {
41 enable = true;
42 provision = {
43 localMail = {
44 enable = true;
45 hostname = monitoring.example.com;
46 };
47 geoIp = false; # Not recommended!
48 };
49};
50```
51
52## Grafana and GeoIP {#module-services-parsedmarc-grafana-geoip}
53The reports can be visualized and summarized with parsedmarc's
54official Grafana dashboard. For all views to work, and for the data to
55be complete, GeoIP databases are also required. The following example
56shows a basic deployment where the provisioned Elasticsearch instance
57is automatically added as a Grafana datasource, and the dashboard is
58added to Grafana as well.
59
60```nix
61services.parsedmarc = {
62 enable = true;
63 provision = {
64 localMail = {
65 enable = true;
66 hostname = url;
67 };
68 grafana = {
69 datasource = true;
70 dashboard = true;
71 };
72 };
73};
74
75# Not required, but recommended for full functionality
76services.geoipupdate = {
77 settings = {
78 AccountID = 000000;
79 LicenseKey = "/path/to/license_key_file";
80 };
81};
82
83services.grafana = {
84 enable = true;
85 addr = "0.0.0.0";
86 domain = url;
87 rootUrl = "https://" + url;
88 protocol = "socket";
89 security = {
90 adminUser = "admin";
91 adminPasswordFile = "/path/to/admin_password_file";
92 secretKeyFile = "/path/to/secret_key_file";
93 };
94};
95
96services.nginx = {
97 enable = true;
98 recommendedTlsSettings = true;
99 recommendedOptimisation = true;
100 recommendedGzipSettings = true;
101 recommendedProxySettings = true;
102 upstreams.grafana.servers."unix:/${config.services.grafana.socket}" = {};
103 virtualHosts.${url} = {
104 root = config.services.grafana.staticRootPath;
105 enableACME = true;
106 forceSSL = true;
107 locations."/".tryFiles = "$uri @grafana";
108 locations."@grafana".proxyPass = "http://grafana";
109 };
110};
111users.users.nginx.extraGroups = [ "grafana" ];
