munin-node from hell
====================
This is a simple implementation of a munin node (http://munin-monitoring.org/)
that is made to give the polling server a hard time.
In practice this is the munin-node that we use to develop and test the awesome
stuff we do at http://hostedmunin.com/ . Use it as you feel fit :)
Current features controlled via config file:
* Respond slowly or never to queries.
* Have plugins that always are in warning or critical.
* Extensive number of plugins running at once.
* Run on multiple ports at the same time, to test huge amounts of clients.
Usage
-----
munin-node-from-hell takes two arguments; the mode and which config file to
use. Mode is either --run or --muninconf.
This software is meant to run as an ordinary Unix user, please don't run
it as root.
You probably want:
./munin-node-from-hell --run simple.conf
To make a config snippet to put in munin.conf:
./munin-node-from-hell --muninconf simple.conf > snippet.conf
