✨ NAME ✨

munin-cron — a program to batch other Munin master programs 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --host <host> — limits hosts to <host>. Same deal, you can pass multiple --host options. Default is [unset] 💜
  • --config <file> — uses <file> as the configuration file. Default is [/etc/munin/munin.conf] ⭐

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

munin-cron is part of the Munin package, which does its thing hand-in-hand with Munin's node. Munin is a whole group of programs that gather data from Munin's nodes, graph it, make html-pages, and optionally warn Nagios about any off-limit values. iconic behaviour fr fr 💅

So what does munin-cron actually do? It batches all the above tasks by running their respective programs. That's the whole vibe. 🫶

⚠️ ngl this part matters: all parameters are passed directly to the underlying programs, so only use parameters that are understood by all the other programs. no cap, don't get cute with it.
