Public bug reported: Collecting and plotting the uptime seems pointless as this gives no valuable information. Enabling this plugin by default when installing munin-node will waste resources when polling all nodes and also when generating graphs. I think the default setup should not enable this plugin. Of course, this is a "wishlist" item.
If I missed the point completely and graphing the uptime is useful I'd like to know why/how. # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release: 12.04 # apt-cache policy munin-node munin-node: Installed: 1.4.6-3ubuntu3.1 Candidate: 1.4.6-3ubuntu3.1 Version table: *** 1.4.6-3ubuntu3.1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.4.6-3ubuntu3 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: munin-node 1.4.6-3ubuntu3.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-32.51-virtual 3.2.30 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-32-virtual i686 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu14 Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Oct 18 23:26:10 2012 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=linux PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: munin UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: munin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to munin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068433 Title: Collecting and plotting the uptime is pointless To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/munin/+bug/1068433/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
