Munin:...r::Host(3pm)

okay bestie, welcome to the Munin:...r::Host(3pm) page — it's from User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's literally the master-side host-info moment. 🫶 This whole page is short but iconic, and it's all about keeping track of the hosts we're interested in collecting data from. 💅

---

💖 NAME 💖

The Munin::Master::Host module — holds the information on hosts we are interested in collecting data from. That's the assignment, and it ate. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

NOTE: a host and a node are not the same thing, okay? 😭 Some hosts may report services for several nodes — for example, if they have SNMP plugins installed. That's the whole vibe check, fr fr.

✨ METHODS ✨

🌸 new

my $host = Munin::Master::Host->new($hostname, $group, \%attrs);

Constructor, obviously. 💅 $group is the "Munin::Master::Group" object this host belongs to. Valid attributes include "port", "update", and use_node_name. That's the guest list, bestie.

🌈 get_full_path

Returns the full nested named path of the host object — eg. "group1;group2;hostname". Yes, semicolons and everything, periodt. ✨

🎀 add_attributes_if_not_exists

$host->add_attributes_if_not_exists(\%attrs);

Merges the new attributes from %attrs into the host object, without overwriting any existing. No extra chaos, just merge energy. 🫶

💀 get_canned_ds_config

The whole description is FIX. That's it. That's the method. Not me reading a whole FIX and respecting the mystery. 💀

xo xo, bestie — this iconic little page is from perl v5.42.0, dated 2026-09-14, and it's the Munin:...r::Host(3pm) manual. 💖✨🎀
