| PackageDescription | network-wide graphing framework (plugins for node)
Munin is a highly flexible and powerful solution used to create graphs of
virtually everything imaginable throughout your network, while still
maintaining a rattling ease of installation and configuration.
.
This package contains the official plugins for the Munin node, capable of
extracting common values such as cpu usage, network usage, load average, and
so on.
.
Creating your own plugins which are capable of extracting other system-specific
values is very easy, and is often done in a matter of minutes.
You can also create plugins which relay information from other devices in your
network that can't run Munin, such as a switch or a server running another
operating system, by using SNMP or similar technology.
.
Munin is written in Perl, and relies heavily on Tobi Oetiker's excellent
RRDtool. To see a real example of Munin in action, you can follow a link
