Munin
How To Install Munin Node
Munin is a system measuring tool that is much loved in the SysAdmin community because of its flexibility and the way it can be extended by writing plugins for the monitored systems; the plugins are very easy to write.
Each system being monitored runs "munin node", a simple daemon that listens on TCP port 4949 for connections, and if one comes from a permitted host or network, presents different kinds of information to it as requested.
Installing it on Maemo is quite easy as it's architecture independent, being basically a perl process which invokes scripts. The only trick is knowing to bypass certain dependencies during installation, and a few tweaks in the configuration. The installation has to happen from the command line as root.
Installing On Diablo
Diablo is effectively a relatively dated release of arm debian linux, so you have to get the packages from a debian archive.
Login as root to a command shell and fetch the packages. You probably want to fetch them to your flash memory card rather than clutter up the system file space.
fetch the packages as follows
- cd /media/external/download
- wget
