+=head1 NAME
+
+sshd_log - Munin plugin to monitor auth.log or journald for sshd
+           server events.
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+This plugin requires read permission for the logfile or journald.
+
+On busy servers you can change value type to COUNTER and set min to 0
+to avoid minus peaks at logrotate.
+
+The following environment variables are used by this plugin:
+
+ logfile  - path to the auth log file, or "journald" to use journald.
+            default: /var/log/secure
+ category - graph category. default: system
+
+ journalctlargs - space separated list of arguments to pass to
+                  journalctl to get the sshd logs.
+                  default: _COMM=sshd
+
+If the "logfile" environment variable is set to "journald" the sshd
+logs are read from journald, filtering on program "sshd". The filtering
+may be changed using "journalctlarg".
+
+
+Config examples for /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node:
+
+  [sshd_log]
+      user root
+      group root
+      env.logfile /var/log/messages
+      env.category users
+
+Config example with journald:
+
+  [sshd_log]
+      group systemd-journal
+      env.logfile journald
+
+Config example with journald on the sshd.service unit only:
+
+  [sshd_log]
+      group systemd-journal
+      env.logfile journald
+      env.journalctlarg --unit=sshd.service
