Munin is a tool for graphing all sorts of information about one or more servers and displaying it in a web interface. Munin uses the execellent RRDTool (written by Tobi Oetiker) and is written in Perl. Munin has a master/node architecture.
The master connects to all the nodes at regular intervals, and asks them for data. It then stores the data in RRD-files, and (if needed) updates the graphs. One of the main goals has been ease of creating own "plugins" (graphs).
Installation:
edit Makefile.config
- create the user "munin"
- make install-main
- create a cron-entry to run "munin-cron" as the user "munin" every 5 minutes
- if you want to use the dynamic graphs, configure the cgi directory (an example for apache can be found in README-apache-cgi).
