The Plugins

Current

None so far ;)

Alumni

These plugins have been merged upstream and are maintained by the Munin project.

linux_diskstat_

This plugin uses extended blockdevice statistics available via /proc/diskstats (or sysfs) since Linux 2.6.

An annotated example is available at blogs.amd.co.at.

To read the embedded documentation, run "perldoc ./path/to/linux_diskstat_".

linux_diskstat_ has been merged by upstream (simply called "diskstat_" in the linux-specific modules section) as of October 2009 and is available in the 1.4.0 release.

linux_diskstats

This plugin extends on the linux_diskstat_ plugin and makes use of the multigraph feature which is available beginning with Munin 1.4.0. It offers all the information linux_diskstat_ has but has nice overview screens which clutter the node view less; giving detailed information as soon as you click on one of the graphs.

linux_diskstats has been merged by upstream (simply called "diskstats" in the linux-specific modules section) as of December 2009 and is available in the 1.4.3 release.

Installation of Munin Plugins

Adding a new munin plugin is quite easy:

  1. Copy or (sym-)link the file to the Munin Plugin directory (e.g. /usr/share/munin/plugins/ on Debian systems)
  2. Run "munin-node-configure --shell" and verify that the commands make sense
  3. Invoke the commands
  4. Restart munin-node
