[munin-users] Plugin enclosed: mhttping

[Greg C. <gc...@sg...>]

The enclosed plugin performs a bunch of "httping" commands and records the 
response times, with or without a proxy.  Enjoy.


1. Drop or symlink "mhttping" into plugins dir

2. Edit mhttping to tell it where the "data" text file and "results" 
writeable directory are.

3. Create the file "data" with a list of things to do...

# Format must include name=  url=  proxy=  in that order  (spaces or tabs 
ok)
# Use proxy=none for direct

name=google_mtv1	url=http://www.google.com	proxy=proxy1.mydomain.com:8080
name=yahoo_mtv1	url=http://www.yahoo.com	proxy=proxy1.mydomain.com:8080
name=www_direct	url=http://www.mydomain.com	proxy=none

4. Add to crontab to make "mhttping run" execute every 5 minutes, offset 
from munin time a bit.  This can be any user who can run "httping" and 
write to the "results" dir.

2-59/5 * * * *	/home/gconnor/mhttping/mhttping run > 
/home/gconnor/mhttping/log 2>&1

5. Verify that "mhttping run" works, from command line and from cron.  Then 
verify that "mtthping config" and "mhttping fetch" work.

6. Restart munin-node.
