What is this?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a rewrite of commonly used plugins in C as a single binary. The
purpose is reducing resource usage:
* disk space: the binary is smaler than the plugins together
* more diskspace: it has no dependencies on other programs
* less forks: it does not fork internally
* faster startup: it doesn't start perl or shell
* less memory: just a small C program
* less file accesses: one binary for many plugins
This can be useful for machines with restricted resources like embedded
machines.
What plugins are included?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cpu entropy forks fw_packets interrupts load open_files open_inodes
processes swap uptime
How to use?
~~~~~~~~~~~
After compiling there will be binary munin-plugins-busybox. You can just
replace symlinks in /etc/munin/plugins/ with symlinks to this binary.
