Thomas Riccardi 8f68d6e697 sshd_log: allow both types GAUGE and DERIVE, default to GAUGE
In fact for journald mode internally it really is type ABSOLUTE, because
we use journald cursor to get only new logs on each collect. It results
in the same value as with a plain log file and type DERIVE: it's the
rate of events.

type=DERIVE is best for servers with lots of ssh traffic.

Contributed Munin Plugins

This plethora of plugins covering various topics was contributed by many different users of munin.

See the gallery for a browsable overview of these plugins.

Purpose of this repository

This repository of contributed plugin strives to achieve the following goals:

  • allow users to find interesting plugins
  • allow contributors to publish their plugins
  • simplify cooperative maintenance of plugins

Contributed plugins are maintained primarily by their authors. You may file bug reports for plugin issue here in this repository (munin-contrib), but please do not forget to notify the author the plugin, as well.

Please note, that this repository is not supposed to be a dumping site for random plugins of low quality. The related infrastructure (e.g the gallery or automated tests) require a certain level of quality. Please see below for details.

Submit a new plugin

  1. check if a similar plugin exists and if it can be extended/changed instead of adding a new plugin
    • please avoid code copies - they are a maintenance burden
  2. add documentation including configuration, author, license and magic markers
  3. pick a suitable category
  4. use style check tools for the language of the plugin (e.g. shellcheck for shell and flake8 for Python)
  5. pick a suitable name and location
  6. bonus:
  7. open a pull request with your new plugin or send it attached to an email to the mailing list

See the plugin development documentation for more details.

Modify an existing plugin

  • try to keep the plugin backwards compatible (e.g. keep data fieldnames unchanged)
    • improvements of code quality and features can justify incompatible changes of existing plugins
  • bonus:

Plugin name and location

The following descriptions are intentions - they do not necessarily describe the current state for all plugins. Please open a pull request if you want to align the current structure along the goals outlined below:

  • the top level directory should describe a related software or vendor
    • use concepts or platforms only if it is really necessary (e.g. cpu, bsd, memory)
  • subdirectories are usually not required
