To further simplify the monitory process I choose to also include a multigraph plugin `nextcloud_multi.py` which does everything the other plugins do in a single plugin. There are requirements for using a multigraph plugin which can be read up here : [Munin-Monitoring.org/multigraphing](http://guide.munin-monitoring.org/en/latest/plugin/multigraphing.html) ## install -To use these plugins properly some configuration parameters need to be added to the plugin-config `/etc/munin/plugin-config.d/custom-config`. +### requirements +The Python environment need to have access to the [requests](https://github.com/psf/requests) module.

Thus you have to change the shebang from '#!/usr/bin/env python3' to the python3 path, or you could simply add a wrapper script. +That way you only modify untracked files which helps with git updates. +```bash +#!/bin/bash +# path to my virtual env python runtime # the unchanged nextcloud_multi.py file +/usr/share/munin/custom-plugins/nextcloud-munin-py/venv/bin/python /usr/share/munin/custom-plugins/nextcloud-munin-py/nextcloud_multi.py $@ ``` -virtualenv -p python3 /path/to/your/venv -pip install -r requirements.txt +### configuration +To use these plugins properly some configuration parameters need to be added to the plugin-config `/etc/munin/plugin-config.d/z-custom-config`. +``` +[nextcloud_*] +env.username username +env.password password or logintoken +env.url https://URL.TO.YOUR.NEXTCLOUD.tld/ocs/v2.php/apps/serverinfo/api/v1/info ``` +### activating the plugin +Finally you need to symlink the plugins you would like to activate into the munin plugin directory eg. `/etc/munin/plugins/`. +Or if you want to use the multigraph plugin only symlink that one the the munin plugin directory. + +After this has been done the munin-node needs to be restarted to facilitate the new plugins. +`systemctl restart munin-node` + ### everything working?
