munin-limits [options]

Limit services to those of <service>. Multiple --service options may be supplied. [unset]

This option may be specified several times, to add more values.

Use of "--always-send" overrides the "always_send" value in munin.conf for configured contacts. See also --force.

Munin-limits is a part of the package Munin, which is used in combination with Munin's node. Munin is a group of programs to gather data from Munin's nodes, graph them, create html-pages, and optionally warn Nagios about any off-limit values.

Munin-limits checks if any values are above or below the set limits, and saves these notes to a file. This file is later used by programs like munin-nagios (to warn nagios) and munin-html (to incorporate them in the web display).

If a service has fields with "warning" or "critical"-options (e.g. "load.warning 10"), and the munin-server configuration file contains the necessary configuration options, munin-limits will check its value.

        /etc/munin/munin.conf
        /var/lib/munin/*
        /var/run/munin/*

This is munin-limits version 2.0.73

munin-limits does, as of now, not check the syntax of the configuration file.
