Quote:Munin is a simple to configure tool that make real nice graph about your server status. It can actually deal with almost any aspect of your server (load average, network cards status, CPU usage, memory usage, postfix, exim4, mysql ...) without spending much time in configuring it.
Munin produce MRTG likes graph so you can easily see how your server health is going.
his tutorial will show you how to set up Munin to gather statistics of a single server, but keep in mind that Munin can be deployed throughout a whole network, but beware that there is no real no security measure (such as authentication ...) taken by munin.
To be able to access the datas gathered by munin, we are going to set up a virtual apache server. Those datas will only be accessible to authenticated users using apache mod_auth_digest (a more secure authetication protocol)...
