NAME

       munin-node - A daemon to gather information in cooperation with the main Munin program

SYNOPSIS

       munin-node [--options]

DESCRIPTION

       munin-node is a daemon for reporting statistics on system performance.

       It doesn't produce these itself, but instead relies on a number of plugins which are responsible for
       gathering the data they require, and describing how this should be graphed.  In fact, it does little more
       than fielding requests from the Munin master, running the appropriate plugins, and returning the output
       they produce.

OPTIONS

       --config <configfile>
            Use <file> as configuration file. [/etc/munin/munin-node.conf]

        --[no]paranoia
            Only run plugins owned by root. Check permissions as well. [--noparanoia]

        --help
            View this help message.

        --[no]debug
            View debug messages.  This can be very verbose.

        --[no]pidebug
            Plugin debug.  Sets the environment variable MUNIN_DEBUG to 1 so that plugins may enable debugging.
            [--nopidebug]
