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 of the plugin (see the plugin's documentation), too.

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
