* feat: add grafana loki output

Push aggregate, failure and SMTP TLS reports as JSON log lines to the
Loki push API. Static labels and labels taken from report fields are
configurable, host defaults to the FQDN. The timestamp is either the
ingest time or the report begin time. Supports basic auth, bearer
tokens, X-Scope-OrgID and batching. Push errors are reported as output
errors so messages are not archived.

* feat(dashboards): add grafana dashboard for the loki output

* Address Copilot review on the Loki output

Responds to Copilot's review of #926:

- Treat any push status other than 200/204 as a failure. Loki returns
  block_ingestion_status_code (260 by default) when block_ingestion_until
  blocks ingestion, and the logs are discarded (Loki configuration
  reference); the old >= 300 check counted that as a successful save, so
  the CLI could archive mailbox messages whose reports were never stored.
- Read aggregate begin_date as UTC for timestamp = report_begin. Aggregate
  CSV rows carry the record's interval_begin, which the parser builds as
  naive UTC wall-clock time (to_utc=True); reading it as local time shifted
  entries by the host's UTC offset (+4h on America/New_York).
- Group the Published Policies dashboard dedup by org_name as well as
  report_id: report IDs are only unique per reporter (the PostgreSQL key
  is UNIQUE (org_name, report_id, ...)).
- Drop the legend sum from SMTP TLS Sessions Over Time: its [1d] lookback
  with the automatic step yields overlapping rolling totals, so the sum
  counted the same sessions repeatedly.

Adds regression tests for each, including a non-UTC timezone test against
a real sample report.

* Address second Copilot review on the Loki output

Responds to Copilot's second review of #926 (previously-missed findings):

- Strip each [loki] label_fields entry. _str_to_list() only lstrips, so
  "report_type , domain" produced "report_type " and LokiClient refused to
  start with "Invalid Loki label name 'report_type '".
- Wipe Loki on RESEED=1 even when Elasticsearch is empty. The wipe sat
  inside the ES-has-docs guard, so after the ES container was recreated a
  reseed appended a second copy of the samples to Loki, which does not
  deduplicate.

* Address third Copilot review on the Loki output

Responds to Copilot's third review of #926 (previously-missed findings):

- Keep a base URL's query string when appending the push path. The path
  was string-concatenated, so https://gw.example.org?route=logs became
  ...?route=logs/loki/api/v1/push, hitting the root path with a corrupted
  query. The path is now set on the parsed httpx.URL.
- Push each report's entries in timestamp order. With timestamp =
  report_begin, a normalized multi-day aggregate report yields rows
  source-major (every day of one source, then day 1 of the next), all in
  one stream. Loki rejects entries older than the newest line minus half
  of max_chunk_age (1h by default) with too_far_behind (Loki configuration
  docs, "Accept out-of-order writes"), so later sources were partly
  rejected. The whole entry list is now sorted before batching.

* fix(loki): do not follow redirects and drop forensic alias

httpx re-sends a 301/302 POST as GET, so a redirected push could return 200 without storing anything, and the mailbox messages were archived. Redirects are no longer followed, so a 3xx raises LokiError.

Remove save_forensic_report_to_loki: the module is new, so no caller needs the legacy alias.

* fix(dashboards): use the existing Loki datasource uid in the dev bootstrap

When a datasource named Loki already exists with another uid, the dashboard import still bound every panel to dmarc-loki. Read the uid from the lookup response instead.

parsedmarc is a Python module and CLI utility for parsing DMARC reports. When used with Elasticsearch and Kibana (or Splunk), or with OpenSearch and Grafana, it works as a self-hosted open source alternative to commercial DMARC report processing services such as Agari Brand Protection, Dmarcian, OnDMARC, ProofPoint Email Fraud Defense, and Valimail.

Features

  • Parses aggregate/rua DMARC reports: the legacy draft and 1.0 schemas (RFC 7489) and the new RFC 9990 schema for the final DMARC standard (RFC 9989)
  • Parses failure/ruf DMARC reports (RFC 6591 and RFC 9991; formerly called forensic reports)
  • Parses reports from SMTP TLS Reporting (TLS-RPT, RFC 8460)
  • Can parse reports from an inbox over IMAP, Microsoft Graph, or Gmail API
  • Transparently handles gzip or zip compressed reports
  • Consistent data structures
  • Simple JSON and/or CSV output
  • Optionally email the results
  • Optionally send the results to Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Splunk, or PostgreSQL, for use with premade dashboards
  • Optionally send the results to Apache Kafka, Amazon S3, Azure Log Analytics (Microsoft Sentinel), a Graylog (GELF) endpoint, a syslog server, Grafana Loki, or an HTTP webhook
