I used this as a base which is excellent: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Munin Extra config is required if you want to get other plugins working like apache, mysql, and nginx The extra config takes place in /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node and in whatever program you are configuring the plugin for. This setup assumes the master and node are on the same machine. apache: /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node: [apache_*] env.ports 80 env.url http://127.0.0.1:80/server-status?auto /etc/conf.d/apache2: add "-D STATUS" to APACHE2_OPTS (apache must be compiled with APACHE2_MODULES="status") mysql: /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node: [mysql*] env.mysqlopts -u root --password=PASSWORDHERE (I'm still having a problem with the myisam and InnoDB graphs.) nginx: This should work but it doesn't for me yet: http://www.nginxtips.com/nginx-configuration-for-munin/ It's a good idea to change the following for security as long as the master and node are on the same machine: #host * host 127.0.0.1 It's handy to use 'munin-run PLUGIN_NAME' to test a plugin. - Grant
