[munin-users] Push instead of pull

[Luke A. K. <lu...@ma...>]

Hello,

I'm interested in using Munin, as it seems an ideal tool for some of what 
I need to do, but I am interested in having all of my clients connect to 
the central server, rather than having the central server connect to each 
of the clients.  The biggest reason I want this is because it makes my 
servers more self-sufficient; if they're up, they make sure their 
configuration is up-to-date, and if they're down then the central server 
doesn't waste its time on them.

I've got a similar system, with each of my clients connecting to a central 
server, but using LDAP as the central server and storing non-monitoring 
related information, and I'm very happy with how it operates.  It gives me 
more central control over security, it means only one daemon listening on 
the whole network to make it work, and again it makes my machines more 
autonomous, which I prefer.

Is this currently supported?

Also, is there a community repository for other plugins?  I'd like to 
share any plugins that I write, and it'd be nice if there were some easy 
way to do so.

Thanks,
Luke

Really?  He might do it just for fun.  I know I would.  If I were God,
I'd get together with all my other God friends and have a big party.
We'd all get drunk and create unliftable rocks, then try to lift them.
It would be loads of fun!  Then I'd probably just destroy the rocks
with a lightning bolt.  Then I'd probably pass out.  :^)
