t would be more convenient and avoid edit conflicts if the munin
server config file supported include statements. Here at the university
of Oslo we generate the list of hosts to monitor based on those reporting
in to a central server, and we had to write our own system to generate the
complete munin.conf file using fragments. It would be more elegant and
convenient if the manually edited parts were in one file, and the autogenerated
stuff were in another file.
Please add support for something like this:
# Configuration file for Munin
[...]
dbdir /var/lib/munin
[...]
include /var/lib/sitesummary/munin-nodes.conf
[...]
# End of the config file
This would make it a lot easier to handle autogenerated munin server
config.
Perhaps some 'includedir' statement could be added as well, to make it
easier for other packages to provide munin configuration without
messing with the configuration files of munin directly?
