    11Munin consists of the main programs, and a node. The node runs on each of 
    22the machines you want to collect data from. The main programs does the 
    3 collecting, draws the graphs, and creates the HTML pages.

    55To install the main programs: 
    …… 
    88        - create the user "munin" 
    99        - make install-main 
    10         - create a cron-entry to run "munin-cron" as the user "munin" every 5 
    11           minutes.  You might find cron files for your system in the

     13          under the build/dists subdirectory, or perhaps in the

    2527 
    2628        - edit Makefile.config 
    2729        - create the group "munin" 
    2830        - make install-node install-node-plugins 
    29         - decide which plugins to use (quick auto-solution:  
    30           "munin-node-configure --shell | sh") 
    31         - start the client (you probably want an init-script for this)

     32          solution: "munin-node-configure --shell | sh") 
     33        - start the node agent. You probably want an init-script for 
     34          this and you might find a good one under build/dists

    3639"make install-node-plugins" installs the plugins in LIBDIR (defined in 
    3740Makefile.config). Put the ones you want to use (or better yet, create 
    38 softlinks) in CONFDIR/client.d/ . An easy way to do this, is the program 
    39 "munin-node-configure", using the parameter "--shell". It will then 
    40 suggest commands to do this.

    45 Many OSes and releases thereof have different ways of gathering data. A 
    46 lot of OSes still have none. If you create plugins for a system which is 
    47 not already in the package, please send us a copy of them, so we can add 
    48 them for others to use. We'd also be happy if you sent us any new plugins 
    49 on systems already in the package.
