How To Tutorials

In munin different plugins have different permission or settings to fetch the data. Easiest way to get that information is by running command

cd /etc/munin/plugins
munin-run PLUGINNAME

To setup the nginx modules, we need to give url to the munin from where it can fetch data: 

setting up url just for munin as location host: 

open and edit the nginx config file, ( you can also create seperate vhost files for this configuration)

for nginx main config file you can edit nginx.conf inside /etc/nginx/ by command line vi /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

server {
       listen 127.0.0.1;
       server_name localhost;
       location /nginx_status {
               stub_status on;
               access_log   off;
               allow 127.0.0.1;
               deny all;
       }
 }


To create a seperate vhost file:
 you can create the vhost file eg: nginx-example inside /etc/nginx/vhost/
and copy and past above data. 

Setting munin to point to the file: 
Open the cpanel.conf inside /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d and add or edit the line 

[nginx plugin name ]
env.url http://localhost/nginx_status

restart the nginx server by : 
service nginx restart

and also restart the munin node 
service munin-node restartwait 10 to 15 min for muinin to gather data.
