Tool of the Day: Munin
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 grapher/gatherer. You will only need one
instance of it in your network. It will periodically poll all the nodes in
your network it's aware of for data, which it in turn will use to create
graphs and HTML pages, suitable for viewing with your graphical
web browser of choice.
It is also able to alert you if any value is outside of a preset
boundary, useful if you want to be alerted if a filesystem is about to
grow full, for instance. You can do this by making Munin run an
arbitrary command when you need to be alert it, or make use of the
intrinsic Nagios support.
Munin is written in Perl, and relies heavily on Tobi Oetiker's excellent
RRDtool.
