MUNIN-NODE(1)

NAME
munin-node - A daemon to gather information in cooperation with the main Munin program

SYNOPSIS
munin-node [--options]

DESCRIPTION
munin-node is a daemon for reporting statistics on system performance.

It doesn't produce these itself, but instead relies on a number of plugins which are responsible for gathering the data they require, and describing how this should be graphed. In fact, it does little more than fielding requests from the Munin master, running the appropriate plugins, and returning the output they produce.

OPTIONS

--config <configfile>
    Use <file> as configuration file. [/etc/munin/munin-node.conf]

--[no]paranoia
    Only run plugins owned by root. Check permissions as well. [--noparanoia]

--help
    View this help message.

--[no]debug
    View debug messages. This can be very verbose.

--[no]pidebug
    Plugin debug. Sets the environment variable MUNIN_DEBUG to 1 so that plugins may enable debugging. [--nopidebug]
