Description (Last modified by janl)

The munin-node-configure-snmp command is a nice way to detect and configure snmp plugins, but has one missing feature; it's not posible to auto configure multi purpose plugins.

If you want to create one plugins, lets call it snmp__foobar_, that can fetch two types of data (fans and temp from sensors is a good example), there is no way to auto configure it to snmp_host_foobar_fans and snmpt_host_foobar_temp.

I think such multi purpose plugins are generally a good thing when making plugins for similar data.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to worksforme.

You should use (the recommended) munin-node-configure instead.

On my system, it definitely auto-configures itself (lines re-formatted for readability): 

donald:~# munin-node-configure --snmp 10.0.0.1 \
    --snmpversion 1 --snmpcommunity SECRET --shell
ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/snmp__if_err_ \
    /etc/munin/plugins/snmp_router.example.no_if_err_103
ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/snmp__if_err_ \
    /etc/munin/plugins/snmp_router.example.no_if_err_201
ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/snmp__if_err_ \
    /etc/munin/plugins/snmp_router.example.no_if_err_202
ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/snmp__if_ \
    /etc/munin/plugins/snmp_router.example.no_if_103
