MUNIN-NODE.CONF(5)

NAME
munin-node.conf - Munin-node configuration file

DESCRIPTION
Munin-node is the node that Munin fetches data from, graphs, htmlifies and optionaly warns nagios about data it gathers. It's designed to let it be very easy to graph new datasources.

"munin-node.conf" is the configuration file for munin-node.

The format of the file is dictated by the use of Net::Server. A look at "perldoc Net::Server" will give a list of options that the file supports by using the module.

The following options are of special interest:

allow RE
    IP based access list is implemented through this. The statement may be repeated many times. It's important to note that it's actually a regular expression after the keyword so to allow localhost it must be written like this:

          allow ^127\.0\.0\.1$

host IP
    The IP number of the interface munin-node should listen on. By default munin-node listens to all interfaces. To make munin-node listen only on the localhost interface - making it unavailable from the network do this:

          host 127.0.0.1

  Additional options:

host_name <host>
    If set, overrides the hostname munin-node uses in its 'hello'-negotiation with munin. A "telnet localhost 4949" will show the hostname munin-node is currently using. If munin-node and the main munin installation do not agree on the hostname, munin will skip all the plugins of the machine in question.

paranoia <yes|no|true|false|on|off|1|0>
    If set, checks permissions of plugin files, and only tries to run files owned by root. Default on.

ignore_file <regex>
    Files matching &lt;regex&gt; in the node.d/ and node-conf.d/ directories will be overlooked.

EXAMPLE
A pretty normal configuration file:

        log_level 4
        log_file /var/log/munin/munin-node.log
        port 4949
        pid_file /var/run/munin-node.pid
        background 1
        setseid 1

        host *
        user root
        group root
        setsid yes

        ignore_file \.bak$
        ignore_file \.rpm(save|new)$
        ignore_file ^README$

        allow ^127\.0\.0\.1$

        ignore_file \.dpkg-(old|new)$
        ignore_file \.rpm(save|new)$
