[munin-users] SOLVED : push data node to master ?

Dear Philipp many thanks for help and advice.
Indeed it works.

So briefly, I open on the munin-node a ssh tunnel in reverse mode to  
the munin-master (see 'man SSH' and option -R for mode details).
I completed the config on both to add this new munin-node (here it's a  
classical Munin configuration).
And voila ! Got the data on the munin-master.

(note : here indeed it's the munin-master to grab data from the  
munin-node, not the reverse)

Bye,
Bruno
