Plans for Munin

There are plans and wishes for Munin. For features that does not have priority yet see WishList.

Munin 1.2 maintenance

Munin 1.2 is not maintained by anyone involved in Munin. It is being maintained in Debian until the last Debian with Munin 1.2 is end-of-lifed.

Munin 1.4

Munin 1.4 was released in November 2009. It included hierarchy nesting, nested graphs (multigraph extention). We're releasing bug fix versions of it at irregular intervals.

Munin 2.0

Steve Schnepp is working on 2.0 with this feature set:

(Fast)CGI-graphing a mainline feature (enhances scalability)
Zoomable graphs
Native ssh support
Dirty config (enhances scalability, simplifies plugins)
Deep multigraph nesting
Polling intervals down to one minute (via async node feature)
Possibly (partial, via async node feature) spooling (enhances scalability)

This should be quite a bit more scalable than 1.4

Beyond that

We have plans, but no time-table.

Consolidate RRDs so that one service (~plugin) gets one RRD. This enhances update and graph speed (see #444).
Scalability: There are some proposed extensions to handle this.
Need to enhance presentation
A Dashboard showing interesting things (a start of this is in 2.0, the critical/warning page).
extrapolation feature that forecasts failures (disk full, temperature in excess of 40C) with the help of rrd
anomality detection with the help of rrd
A common Munin::Plugin oop framework for module creation in perl, python and ruby (ssm wants to do this)

Other things that needs doing
