munin_update relies on a stats file that exists, but isn't found in the
default location on NixOS; the appropriate plugin configuration is
added.
munin_stats relies on munin-cron writing a logfile, which the NixOS
build of munin does not. (This is probably fixable in the munin package,
but I don't have time to dig into that right now.)
This permits custom styling of the generated HTML without needing to
build your own Munin package from source. Also comes with an example
that works as a passable dark theme for Munin.
extraAutoPlugins lets you list plugins and plugin directories to be
autoconfigured, and extraPlugins lets you enable plugins on a one-by-one
basis. This can be used to enable plugins from contrib (although you'll
need to download and check out contrib yourself, then point these
options at it), or plugins you've written yourself.
munin-graph is hardcoded to use DejaVu Mono for the graph legends; if it
can't find it, there's no guarantee it finds a monospaced font at all,
and if it can't find a monospaced font the legends come out badly
misformatted.
This is just a set of globs to remove from the active plugins directory
after autoconfiguration is complete.
I also removed the hard-coded disabling of "diskstats", since it seems
to work just fine now.
Since this module was written, Munin has moved their documentation from
munin-monitoring.org/wiki to guide.munin-monitoring.org. Most of the
links were broken, and the ones that weren't went to "please use the new
site" pages.
New option `extraPluginPaths' that allows users to supply additional
paths for netdata plugins. Very useful for when you want to use
custom collection scripts.
`collectd' might fail because of a failure in any of numerous plugins.
For example `virt' plugin sometimes fails if `collectd' is started before `libvirtd'
Instead of setting User/Group only when DynamicUser is disabled, the
previous version of the code set it only when it was enabled. This
caused services with DynamicUser enabled to actually run as nobody, and
services without DynamicUser enabled to run as root.
Regression from fbb7e0c82f.
This commit adds an assertion that checks that either `configFile` or
`configuration` is configured for alertmanager. The alertmanager config
can not be an empty attributeset. The check executed with `amtool` fails
before the service even has the chance to start. We should probably not
allow a broken alertmanager configuration anyway.
This also introduces a test for alertmanager configuration that piggy
backs on the existing prometheus tests.
Otherwise netdata will not find python modules.
To make sure netdata still pick up our setuid version of apps.plugin
we rename the original executable.
By using types.lines for 'config', we can specify monit configurations
in lots of modules and they can all be automatically combined together
with newlines. This is desireable because different modules might want
to each specify the small monitoring task specific to their service.
This commit also updates the module to use current idioms.
With `promtool` we can check the validity of a configuration before
deploying it. This avoids situations where you would end up with a
broken monitoring system without noticing it - since the monitoring
broke down. :-)
as using /var/run now emits a warning by systemd's tmpfiles.d.
As /var/run is already a symlink to /run, this can't break anything, and
data does not need to be migrated.
