root@sol11server:/var/tmp# gtar zxvf munin-2.0.25.tar.gz

root@sol11server:~# cd munin-2.0.25

root@sol11server:~# gmake install-common-prime install-node-prime install-plugins-prime

5. Edit the munin-node.conf, set host_name and allow ip address of Munin server. 6. Install the modules using this script:

#!/bin/sh
for i in `cat /var/tmp/plugins-list`
do
        ln -s /opt/munin/lib/plugins/$i /etc/opt/munin/plugins/$i
done

The plugins-list will be a list of the modules you wish munin-node to run, e.g.:

apache_accesses
apache_processes
apache_volume
df
df_inode
http_loadtime
memcached_
munin_stats
munin_update
netstat
ntp_
ntp_kernel_err
ntp_kernel_pll_freq
ntp_kernel_pll_off
ntp_offset
ntp_states
ping_
processes
ps_
psu_

7. Install startup/shutdown script, and then startup Munin-node.

#!/sbin/sh
#
prog="munin-node"
path="/opt/munin/sbin"

/usr/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/munin

case "$1" in
'restart')
        #stop the daemon, then fall through to the start
        /usr/bin/pkill -x $prog
        $path/$prog
        ;;
'start')
        $path/$prog
        ;;

'stop')
        /usr/bin/pkill -x $prog
        ;;

*)
        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop | restart }"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
exit 0
