Package: munin-node
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: normal

It seems that the if_ plugin is deprecated, because it doesn't fit well
with 100Mbits and 1Gbs interfaces, where the counter can grow too
fast, and overflow.
So, as suggested in the interface when using if_, please use ip_
instead.

To allow this, the following will be needed:
1) add the following lines to /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node
"""
[ip_*]
user root
"""

2) the initscript should ensure that the iptables rules are loaded,
and load them if necessary.

3) the installation script which creates the symlinks in /etc/munin/plugins
should be updated to detect the IP addresses of the current machine and
create ip_IPADDRESS links instead of if_INTERFACE.

If you need some help to do this, just ask.
Thanks
