install munin on Fedora 18

Here’s how to install munin on Fedora 18.

I’ve installed munin server and munin node on the same box , which means that one box acts as both munin server and client.

[root@f18 ~]# uname -ri 3.9.0-0.rc5.git1.1.vanilla.mainline.knurd.1.fc18.x86_64 x86_64 [root@f18 ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow)

install munin , munin-node and httpd via yum.

# yum -y install munin munin-node httpd

[ munin server ]

use default configuration.

# egrep -v ^# /etc/munin/munin.conf | grep -v ^$ includedir /etc/munin/conf.d graph_strategy cron html_strategy cron [localhost]    address 127.0.0.1    use_node_name yes

[ munin node ]

use default configuration as well.

# egrep -v ^# /etc/munin/munin-node.conf | grep -v ^$ log_level 4 log_file /var/log/munin-node/munin-node.log pid_file /var/run/munin/munin-node.pid background 1 setsid 1 user root group root ignore_file [\#~]$ ignore_file DEADJOE$ ignore_file \.bak$ ignore_file %$ ignore_file \.dpkg-(tmp|new|old|dist)$ ignore_file \.rpm(save|new)$ ignore_file \.pod$ allow ^127\.0\.0\.1$ allow ^::1$ host * port 4949 #

start munin-node

[root@f18 ~]# systemctl start munin-node.service [root@f18 ~]# systemctl status munin-node.service munin-node.service - Munin Node Server.  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/munin-node.service; disabled)  Active: active (running) since Sat 2013-04-13 02:50:12 JST; 1s ago    Docs: man:munin-node Process: 8403 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/munin-node (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 8404 (munin-node)  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/munin-node.service  └─8404 /usr/bin/perl -wT /usr/sbin/munin-node

start munin-node when booting the OS

# systemctl enable munin-node.service ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/munin-node.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/munin-node.service'

configure apache to browse statistics via HTTP.

# egrep -v ^# /etc/httpd/conf.d/munin.conf  | grep -v ^$ <directory /var/www/html/munin> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.11.0/24 ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault M310 </directory> ScriptAlias /munin-cgi/munin-cgi-graph /var/www/cgi-bin/munin-cgi-graph

start httpd

# apachectl start

access to http://127.0.0.1/munin

The following is an output of CPU usage.
