Hello I want to use Munin in a very specific manner. I want it to connect using SSH on remote Linux computers and check if a service is running. No agents, no SNMP. Just a good old SSH connection and a check if a service is running. Can Munin do that? I already have a clean Munin installation running on a Debian machine. I followed this guide https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-munin-monitoring-tool-on-debian-8 Please let me know if what I want to do is possible. Thank you. |

But a plugin can count the number of specific processes running and you can alert if the number is too low. Munin can collect graph data via ssh but you need to install munin-node software on the remote nodes. It is possible to find special purpose munin node versions written in shell and a very small feature set of perl if you search. Nicolai |
