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. License? ~~~~~~~~ (C) 2008 Helmut Grohne GPLv3 applies to *.c *.h and Makefile # vim7:spelllang=en # vim:textwidth=75
