Munin is an open-source monitoring tool used to monitor system resources like CPU, memory, disk usage, network traffic, etc. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Munin on Manjaro.
The first step is to update and upgrade the Manjaro system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Enter your password when prompted.
Run the following command to install Munin:
sudo pacman -S munin
This command will install all necessary dependencies required for Munin to run.
After installing Munin, we need to configure it correctly. The configuration files are stored in the /etc/munin/ directory.
Edit the munin.conf file to edit the default settings. Run the following command to open the file in the Nano editor:
sudo nano /etc/munin/munin.conf
Uncomment the following lines by removing the # symbol at the beginning of each line.
dbdir /var/lib/munin
htmldir /usr/share/webapps/munin/htm
logdir /var/log/munin
rundir /var/run/munin
Add the following line at the end of the file to enable Apache:
include /etc/munin/apache24.conf
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, then Y, then Enter.
After configuring Munin, we need to start it. Run the following command to enable and start the Munin service:
sudo systemctl enable munin-node && sudo systemctl start munin-node
This command will start the Munin Node service.
Now, we can access the Munin web interface by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:
http://localhost/munin/
This will display the default Munin dashboard with graphs for various system resources like CPU, memory, disk usage, network traffic, etc.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install and configure Munin on Manjaro. Munin is an excellent tool for monitoring system resources and helps to keep the system running smoothly.
