NAME

node.conf - Munin-node configuration file

DESCRIPTION

Munin-node is the node that Munin fetches data from, graphs,ifies and optionaly warns nagios about data it gathers. It's designed to let it be very easy to graph new datasources.

``node.conf'' is the configuration file for munin-node.

The format of the file is dictated by the use of Net::Server. A look at ``perldoc Net::Server'' will give a list of options that the file supports by using the module.

Additional options:

host_name <host>: If set, overrides the hostname munin-node uses in its 'hello'-negotiation with munin. A ``telnet localhost 4949'' will show the hostname munin-node is currently using. If munin-node and the main munin installation do not agree on the hostname, munin will skip all the plugins of the machine in question.
paranoia <yes|no|true|false|on|off|1|0>: If set, checks permissions of plugin files, and only tries to run files owned by root. Default on.
ignore_file <regex>: Files matching <regex> in the node.d/ and node-conf.d/ directories will be overlooked.

EXAMPLE

A pretty normal configuration file:

        log_level 4
        log_file /var/log/munin/munin-node.log
        port 4949
        pid_file /var/run/munin-node.pid
        background 1
        setseid 1

        host *
        user root
        group root
        setsid yes

        ignore_file \.bak$
        ignore_file \.rpm(save|new)$
        ignore_file ^README$

        allow ^127\.0\.0\.1$

        ignore_file \.dpkg-(old|new)$
        ignore_file \.rpm(save|new)$
