NAME
munin-limits - A program to check for any off-limit values
SYNOPSIS
munin-limits [options]
OPTIONS
--service <service> Limit services to those of <service>. Multiple --service options may be supplied. [unset] --host <host> Limit hosts to those of <host<gt>. Multiple --host options may be supplied. [unset] --contact <contact> Limit contacts to those of <contact<gt>. Multiple --contact options may be supplied. [unset] --config <file> Use <file> as configuration file. [/etc/munin/munin.conf] --always-send <severity list> Force sending of messages even if you normally wouldn't. The <severity list> can be a whitespace or comma separated list of the values "ok", "warning", "critical" or "unknown". This option may be specified several times, to add more values. Use of "--always-send" overrides the "always_send" value in munin.conf for configured contacts. See also --force. --force Alias for "--always-send ok,warning,critical,unknown" --[no]force-run-as-root Force running as root (stupid and unnecessary). [--noforce-root] --help View help message. --[no]debug If set, view debug messages. [--nodebug]
DESCRIPTION
Munin-limits is a part of the package Munin, which is used in combination with Munin's node. Munin is a group of programs to gather data from Munin's nodes, graph them, create html-pages, and optionally warn Nagios about any off-limit values. Munin-limits checks if any values are above or below the set limits, and saves these notes to a file. This file is later used by programs like munin-nagios (to warn nagios) and munin-html (to incorporate them in the web display). If a service has fields with "warning" or "critical"-options (e.g. "load.warning 10"), and the munin-server configuration file contains the necessary configuration options, munin- limits will check its value.
