Re: munin showing stange info
Hi Bob, The ip_ plugin suggests ip addresses based on rules in your iptables. You can run: $ sudo munin-run --servicedir=/usr/share/munin/plugins ip_ suggest to see what IPs it's suggesting. If they look odd, perhaps check your firewall. Ok, it is indeed suggesting I track that ip number, but I do not want to track any ip-number. SO I probably just need to remove that link. Yes. Removing that symlink would be fine. Ok, did that. [] The munin-node package runs a postinst script when it is installed. That postinst script runs 'munin-node-configure --shell' and saves the output to a temporary file. The --shell option causes it to produce shell commands instead of table output. Then it feeds that file of shell commends to a shell. You can do the same if you like. munin-node-configure --shell --remove-also munin-plugins.sh Then review the file munin-plugins.sh for what it wants to do. Edit as you like. Then run it. sh ./munin-plugins.sh Thanks, that is what I was looking for. Now that you explain it, it's easy. ;-) Bonno Bloksma -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

From: Darac Marjal mailingl...@darac.org.uk Hello Darac, [] The ip_ plugin suggests ip addresses based on rules in your iptables.

What happened to eth0, eth2 and eth5? The if_ and if_err_ plugins look in /proc/net/dev for interfaces to monitor. Perhaps those devices weren't there when you ran suggest? Well here is the kicker, *I* never ran munin-node-configure suggest, I assume that was what the default munin-node script did when it was started for the first time. [.] To see what plugins may be suitable for your system, run: $ sudo munin-node-configure --suggest For more details, you might want to start reading here: http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/munin-node-configure I have read that page and a lot is clear now but is there a way to simply have munin-node run the scrip that set up the pugins for the first time based on what is there now? I have been unable to find how to do that. When I run munin-node-configure I just get a screen full of options with yes/no, I cannot change anything. The same with the suggest option. The wiki page suggests I create/remove a lot of symlinks by hand, which I could do if most of the default values are wrong, but they are not. I would very much like to know how to symply have all/most symlinks created by default and then edit the result where needed.

I would very much like to know how to symply have all/most symlinks created by default and then edit the result where needed. Perhaps the easiest solution for you would be to purge the package first and then install it again. Having purged it all of the old configuration will be gone. Installing it again will run the munin-node postinst script, which runs the munin-node-configure script. # dpkg --purge munin-node # apt-get install munin-node Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature
munin showing stange info
Hi, For years we had Munin to display information about key values for our Debian Linux machines. If there was a new machine I would simply copy a munin-node.conf file from an existing server to the new server and I was prety much ready. I now have a server that is showing strange values. Looking at /etc/munin/plugins I see: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Nov 15 15:05 acpi - /usr/share/munin/plugins/acpi lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Nov 15 15:05 cpu - /usr/share/munin/plugins/cpu lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Nov 15 15:05 df - /usr/share/munin/plugins/df lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Nov 15 15:05 df_inode - /usr/share/munin/plugins/df_inode lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Nov 15 15:05 diskstats - /usr/share/munin/plugins/diskstats lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Nov 15 15:05 entropy - /usr/share/munin/plugins/entropy lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Nov 15 15:05 exim_mailqueue - /usr/share/munin/plugins/exim_mailqueue lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Nov 15 15:05 exim_mailstats - /usr/share/munin/plugins/exim_mailstats lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Nov 15 15:05 forks - /usr/share/munin/plugins/forks lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Nov 15 15:05 fw_conntrack - /usr/share/munin/plugins/fw_conntrack lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Nov 15 15:05 fw_forwarded_local - /usr/share/munin/plugins/fw_forwarded_local lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Nov 15 15:05 fw_packets - /usr/share/munin/plugins/fw_packets lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Nov 15 15:05 http_loadtime - /usr/share/munin/plugins/http_loadtime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Nov 15 15:05 if_err_eth1 - /usr/share/munin/plugins/if_err_ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Nov 15 15:05 if_err_eth3 - /usr/share/munin/plugins/if_err_ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Nov 15 15:05 if_eth1 - /usr/share/munin/plugins/if_ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Nov 15 15:05 if_eth3 - /usr/share/munin/plugins/if_ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Nov 15 15:05 interrupts - /usr/share/munin/plugins/interrupts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Nov 15 15:05 iostat - /usr/share/munin/plugins/iostat lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Nov 15 15:05 iostat_ios - /usr/share/munin/plugins/iostat_ios lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Nov 15 15:05 ip_217.114.99.194 - /usr/share/munin/plugins/ip_ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Nov 15 15:05 irqstats - /usr/share/munin/plugins/irqstats lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Nov 15 15:05 load - /usr/share/munin/plugins/load lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Nov 15 15:05 memory - /usr/share/munin/plugins/memory lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Nov 15 15:05 ntp_kernel_err - /usr/share/munin/plugins/ntp_kernel_err lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Nov 15 15:05 ntp_kernel_pll_freq - /usr/share/munin/plugins/ntp_kernel_pll_freq lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Nov 15 15:05 ntp_kernel_pll_off - /usr/share/munin/plugins/ntp_kernel_pll_off lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Nov 15 15:05 ntp_offset - /usr/share/munin/plugins/ntp_offset lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Nov 15 15:05 open_files - /usr/share/munin/plugins/open_files lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Nov 15 15:05 open_inodes - /usr/share/munin/plugins/open_inodes lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Nov 15 15:05 processes - /usr/share/munin/plugins/processes lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Nov 15 15:05 proc_pri - /usr/share/munin/plugins/proc_pri lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Nov 15 15:05 swap - /usr/share/munin/plugins/swap lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Nov 15 15:05 threads - /usr/share/munin/plugins/threads lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Nov 15 15:05 uptime - /usr/share/munin/plugins/uptime lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Nov 15 15:05 users - /usr/share/munin/plugins/users Now why the heck is there suddenly an ip number like ip_217.114.99.194 in there, it's not even an ip number on this server. :-( And why am I seeing only stats for eth1 and eth3?
