## Munin Debian Plugin
|
|
|
|
With this plugin munin can give you a nice graph and some details where your
|
|
packages come from, how old or new your installation is. Furtermore it tells
|
|
you how many updates you should have been installed, how many packages are
|
|
outdated and where they come from.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can sort installed or upgradable Packages by 'archive', 'origin', 'site',
|
|
'label' and 'component' and even some of them at once.
|
|
|
|
The script uses caching cause it is quite expensive. It saves the output to a
|
|
cachefile and checks on each run, if dpkg-status or downloaded Packagefile have
|
|
changed. If one of them has changed, it runs, if not it gives you the cached
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This plugin has checked on Debian - Wheezy and squeeze. If you want to use it
|
|
on older installations, tell me whether it works or which errors you had. It
|
|
should run past python-apt 0.7 and python 2.5.
|
|
|
|
check out this git repository from
|
|
|
|
aptitude install python-apt
|
|
git clone git://github.com/munin-monitoring/contrib.git
|
|
cd contrib/plugins/apt/deb_packages
|
|
sudo cp deb_packages.py /etc/munin/plugins/deb_packages
|
|
sudo cp deb_packages.munin-conf /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/deb_packages
|
|
|
|
Verify the installation by
|
|
|
|
sudo munin-run deb_packages
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
If you copied deb_packages.munin-conf to plugin-conf.d you have a starting point.
|
|
A typical configuration looks like this
|
|
|
|
[deb_packages]
|
|
# plugin is quite expensive and has to write statistics to cache output
|
|
# so it has to write to plugins.cache
|
|
user munin
|
|
|
|
# Packagelists to this size are printed as extra information to munin.extinfo
|
|
env.MAX_LIST_SIZE_EXT_INFO 50
|
|
|
|
# Age in seconds an $CACHE_FILE can be. If it is older, the script updates
|
|
# default if not set is 3540 (one hour)
|
|
# at the moment this is not used, the plugin always runs (if munin calls it)
|
|
#
|
|
env.CACHE_FILE_MAX_AGE 3540
|
|
|
|
# All these numbers are only for sorting, so you can use env.graph01_sort_by_0
|
|
# and env.graph01_sort_by_2 without using env.graph01_sort_by_1.
|
|
# sort_by values ...
|
|
# possible values are 'label', 'archive', 'origin', 'site', 'component'
|
|
env.graph00_type installed
|
|
env.graph00_sort_by_0 label
|
|
env.graph00_sort_by_1 archive
|
|
env.graph00_show_ext_0 origin
|
|
env.graph00_show_ext_1 site

|
|

|
|
env.graph01_show_ext_0 origin
