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.
