Hugin and Munin are the ravens of the Norse god king Odin. They flew all over Midgard for him, seeing and remembering, and later telling him. "Munin" means "memory". News2009-11-07: 1.4.0-alpha is out. Get it while it's fresh from SVN (see box right) or from SourceForge. ChangeLog is here. 2009-10-09: Beta releases of Munin 1.4 are expected in late October. 1.4.0 is expected in late November. If you have any wishes about 1.4 now is the time to discuss them on the munin-users mailing list or join in our development.
2008-07-03: A mailinglist for german-speaking Munin users started today. 2008-06-11: Munin 1.2.6 is released. It contains bugfixes only. Many Thanks to Matthias for his work on 1.2. 2008-05-18: Jimmy and I (Nicolai) have received copies of the german Munin - Graphisches Netzwerk- und System-Monitoring (ISBN 978-3-937514-48-2), published by Open Source Press. You can buy it at amazon.de. As I say on the cover: I'm very impressed with the thoroughness of this book. It has reminded me of things I had forgotten, and I'm sure any munin user will find it immensely helpful. About MuninMunin 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. Munin uses the excellent RRDTool (written by Tobi Oetiker) and the framework is written in Perl, while plugins may be written in any language. Munin has a master/node architecture in which the master connects to all the nodes at regular intervals and asks them for data. It then stores the data in RRD files, and (if needed) updates the graphs. One of the main goals has been ease of creating new plugins (graphs). This site is a wiki as well as a project management tool. We appreciate any contributions to the documentation. While this is the homepage of the Munin project, we will still make all releases through Sourceforge. ContributingMunin can always need more help.

Munin is also available in FreeBSD ports and in repositories for (at least) the following Linux distributions: Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora (Extras), Red Hat, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Gentoo. Supported OSesMunin is written in Perl and plugins are easy to write. "Porting" to or from any Unix platform is quite easy if you have some Perl/shell/sysadmin experience. Currently we have plugins for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, AIX - and of course cross-platform plugins. In addition you can run Munin-node on embeded systems such as OpenWRT (written in minimal perl) and Muninlite (written in shell script). And Windows. |
