Monitoring Servers using Munin
Filed in archive Servers by Rom Feria on December 29, 2006

god king Odin's ravens. Munin is best described as the monitoring tool surveys all your computers and remembers what it saw. It presents all the information in graphs through a web interface. Its emphasis is on plug and play capabilities. After completing a installation a high number of monitoring plugins will be playing with no more effort.
Using Munin you can easily monitor the performance of your computers, networks, SANs, applications, weather measurements and whatever comes to mind. It makes it easy to determine "what's different today" when a performance problem crops up. It makes it easy to see how you're doing capacity-wise on any resources.
What makes Munin powerful is its flexibility by supporting plug-ins. Users can develop their own plug-ins and submit it to the Munin Exchange site. There are user-contributed plug-ins that monitor the Java Virtual Machine, Xen, SNMP, CPU load and CPU temperatures. Cool, huh?
So what are you waiting for? Go monitor-crazy and see if you need to upgrade your IT infrastructure. :)
