Installing Munin in RHEL, CentOS & Fedora
Installing Munin is very simple, just follow my below step-by-step commands to install it on your server.
Step 1: Installing EPEL Repository for RHEL & CentOS Munin can be installed by using Fedora‘s EPEL repository under RHEL 6.3/6.2/6.1/6/5.8 and CentOS 6.3/6.2/6.1/6/5.8. Just, run the following commands as root user to install it using wget.
# wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm Note : Fedora users don’t need to install EPEL repository, because munin is included in Fedora and can be installed using yum.
Step 2: Installing Munin
Just run the following command as root user.
# yum --enablerepo=epel -y install munin munin-node
By default the above installation creates following directories.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/munin-node : Munin start-up service daemon.
Step 3: Configuring Munin
Open file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and add the following lines of code at the bottom.
Alias /munin /var/www/munin
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Restart Apache and then create system start-up links for Munin and start it.
# /etc/init.d/httpd restart
# chkconfig --levels 235 munin-node on
# /etc/init.d/munin-node start Step 4: Accessing Munin Web Interface
