  Hi Kahar,
  
  I think that is possible. Even sync/centralized with ELK. Please take a look the example about ELK + Zimbra : https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Centralized_Logs_-_Elasticsearch,_Logstash_and_Kibana

thank you so much mas Iman for the answer,

i have another question mas,,

i have only 1 mail server,
but i have 2 ip public.
and 1 domain

so far, i have the configuration like this :
domain : mail.kahar.com –> ip public A –> mail server

i want to set up fail over,,
if the ip public A is down will automatically switch to ip public B.

what should i do firts mas?
should i set the cpanel on domain the ip public B?
curently ns1.kahar.com using ip public A.

  Hi Kahar,
  
  You can use 2 ip public refer into single name (mail.kahar.com). Please configure in public dns (cPanel, sPanel or something else)

  Hello Kamall,
  
  Please try to configure PublicServiceHostname. Login to Zimbra Admin | Configure | Domains | Edit Domain | PublicServiceHostname. Insert URL access to your Zimbra. Example : mail.imanudin.net

  Hello Fatimainfo,
  
  The Zimbra version 7.x.x has bug 0day. You should close port 7071 from outside. Then, you can improve with some improvement below :
  – https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/RestrictPostfixSenders for anti fake mail
  – https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/How-to_for_cbpolicyd for rate limit sending message
  
  For migration, please try this awesome tools : https://www.zextras.com/suite/migration-tool/
