Installing Munin on Ubuntu

Munin is an awesome monitoring package and can provide you with all the information you will ever need. If you needed more information, you can (if you are that way inclined) create your own plugins.

To install, simply run the following command:

sudo apt-get install munin munin-node

This will install munin, and place files in the following locations:

/etc/munin will contain munin.conf munin-node.conf plugin-conf.d plugins templates
/var/cache/munin will contain definitions.html index.html localdomain logo.png style.css

To get munin working, you will need to edit the /etc/munin/munin.conf file:

sudo nano /etc/munin/munin.conf

If you are not accessing munin from localhost, you may want to alter the apache2 config:

nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/munin

Remove the lines containing allow,deny and the next line containing 127.0.0.1. You may also want to look further down at where password protection can be enabled.
