Understanding Munin Output

Apr 18, 2008

I use Munin to monitor the health of our servers, I can tell by looking at the graphs there's nothing to worry about, however, I'm struggling to baseline acceptable performance.what would be classed as 'normal' output for some of the more relevant munin graphs.

I've been looking at the Apache* modules and this is the output from one of our servers:

average of: 300 accesses per minute, 6 busy servers and 4.10MB a minute volume

max of: 1400 accesses per minute, 81 busy servers and 51MB a minute volume

This is a dedicated box running one site.

We have another box that is running approximately 30 sites

average of: 30 accesses per minute, 1 busy server and a 500K a minute volume

max of: 322 accesses per minute, 11 busy servers and a 4MB a minute volume.

These servers are pretty much the same spec, dual core 64Bit, 4GB of ram, two SATA disks in RAID1.

Should I Uninstall Munin

Jan 26, 2008

I have WHM 11.15.0 cPanel 11.17.0-R19429
FEDORA 4 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0

/var keeps getting filled up with munin logs. Do I really need these logs? The server already had munin when I got it so I don't know how it was installed.

Can I disable it? I looked at the cron tab, and I don't see munin, but when I did chkconfig --list I found:

munin-node 0: off 1: off 2: on 3: on 4: on 5: on 6: off (spaces added because it made smileys)

How do I disable it?

Munin Installation In Centos

Jun 25, 2008

I tried to install cacti, somehow it didn't work out so i decided to install munin. But when i choose munin from plugins list it starts to install than it says

Starting Munin Node: [ OK ]
Can't locate RRDs.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 . /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/lib/perl) at /usr/share/munin/munin-graph line 225.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/munin/munin-graph line 225.
Install Complete (munin 1.2.4)
Done

I did some googling about the error and it is because rrdtool is not installed.

Actually i installed rrdtool 1.3.0 from its website it was in /usr/local/rrdtool

Anyway i clicked install a rpm from whm and choose rrdtool.i386

root@server # rpm -qa | grep rrd
rrdtool-1.2.23-6.fc6

But it is still giving error above when i try to install munin

Munin Graphs Are Empty

Nov 4, 2008

Munin was running OK on my cPanel server until yesterday when the graphs stopped updating themselves. I attempted a "/usr/share/munin/munin-update --force-root" which did nothing. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled munin on the cPanel plugins screen and now its running but all the graphs are empty

CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage - Munin @ 54%

Aug 13, 2009

I'm checking my CPU/Memory/MySQL Usage and I'm seeing that something called Munin is running at 54%. That is apparently the average for today. Can anyone give me any insight as to what this is?

Wikipedia classifies Munin as a network monitoring application. I don't think it should be using this much processing.

It appears that I may have enabled this plugin when I rebuilt my apache using EasyApache. Are there any big benefits to this? Looking at the graphics at first glance it doesn't look like there is. but then again, I'm not that knowledgable about this stuff.

How To Monitor Bandwidth/traffic Using Munin

Nov 21, 2007

Does anyone have a tutorial or instructions to show how to set up munin to monitor bandwidth/traffic utilization?

I have a VPS from a provider that has no monitoring tools, and I need something to monitor.

(The VPS uses the HyperVM software.)

I am using the CentOS version 4.x right now, and munin is already set up and configured with a basic install.

Anyone know how to add traffic/bandwidth monitoring? (Ideally, it would monitor all active ports.. but I only really need it to monitor port 1194 for openVPN software.)

Understanding Scp

Nov 22, 2007

I want to use scp to backup files, however I find most tutorials confusing as to which computer is the remote and the local. Is the local the one you are logged into via ssh command, or the computer from which you logged into ssh.

Lets say I am on my Windows computer. I open up putty, and login to the ssh connection of a remote linux computer. What scp command do I enter into the ssh terminal to copy a file from D:ackup of the windows computer to /home/backup of the linux computer?

Understanding APF

Oct 22, 2007

I am getting ready to install APF, I have read multiple articles, but am still confused with the following parameters and what needs to be included in each:

IG_TCP_CPORTS
IG_UDP_CPORTS
EG_TCP_CPORTS
EG_UDP_CPORTS

These are the ports that I want to use:
21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,873,993,995

How do I know what port goes in what parameter? How do I know if it goes in TCP or UDP and if it goes in Ingress or Egress?

What is the difference between TCP and UDP?

Is it ok to have a port listed in both TCP an UDP, and also in Ingress as well as in Egress?

Understanding APF

Nov 7, 2007

having my own dedicated server. I have apf installed and I wanted to see how it blocked IPs so I had a friend, whoes IP I knew, help me. I added his IP to the deny_hosts.rules, thinking that would block him from my server, but it did not. Now, mind you, the way I added his IP was to simply use an editor and add his IP to the bottom of the list. Then I got to thinking, does teh apf only load the rules every so often? If so, how can I tell when or how often the rules load? ALso, do I need to add an IP using apr -d IPNUMBER in order for the apf to recognize it? I'd appreciate some info on how the apf works and how I can add IPs myself that I want to add and be sure that they are being blocked.

Understanding DNS

Jan 5, 2007

I am going to place my first physical server to a server room. I wish to use it also as an nameserver for my domains and I am missing some basic principle there. I can probably configure BIND etc, but how will the servers upper in the hierarchy learn that this is a nameserver for certain domains? To start with, I have several empty domains (they are not hosted and so far using nameservers of a big company).

Munin Stopped Reporting Eth0 After Reboot

Apr 30, 2008

I rebooted my server and now munin is not showing any eth0 traffic. All other graphs are fine. I can see there is a ton of apache accesses so there is definitely eth0 traffic. Munin logs report no errors. I restarted munin and munin-node. I even did 'yum remove munin munin-node' and reinstalled again but it still doesn't work for eth0.

How To Interpret Munin Memory Usage Graph

Oct 5, 2007

The memory usage on my server has slowly been creeping up over the last few weeks due to increased load. Here is my munin memory usage graph for the last week:

[url]

Could someone tell me what I need to be looking for or how to interpret this?

The cache and buffers have been getting really high but also has the inactive memory… so its looks as though its using memory and marking it as inactive afterwards and although graph shows I have massive memory use at first glace it also shows I have half my ram inactive and therefore available to be used.

Understanding Traceroute?

Dec 31, 2006

I am still trying to diagnose a problem some members have on my forums, when they load a page it will load a grey screen (my background color) and stop, after 15-30 seconds+ it will finally load the page

i opened a ticket with my server co and they forwared it to the NOC, NOC said it was apache config problem, server co said it was fixed and was due to apache log reaching 2GB limit, logrotate installed

same problem still existed, opened tk with server management co, they tweaked httpd.conf and disabled logs, problem still exists

I asked 3rd management co about it, changed some settings in httpd, said it may be due to ads on the sites, i took out the ads and a stat script

problem still exists, the thing is the problem exists with some users and not others, doing speed tests to the server shows it is very quick, load is low, no i/o wait and i just installed the second GB of memory so memory is fine

this is happeneing to users on seperate forums, one using vB, one using IPB, so it is server/ hardware related, AMD barton 3000, with 2GB ram, nowehere reaching the bandwidth limit or 10mbps port speed limit

any ideas? doing tracerts to the server shows a timeout before the sites IP address, every time, but doing a tracert OUT of the server shows no time outs....

Understanding (DNS) Nameserver?

Nov 21, 2008

I have a basic understanding of their role and how they work in general (mapping domain names to ip addresses).

I'll start with my setup/scenario:
Plesk - (dedicated company server - serving parent site via WHMCS)
ResellerClub - (domain registrar)
Cpanel/WHM - (shared server)

1. What would be the recommendation for a new hosting provider when it comes to name server(s)?

2. Do most who have limited resources use the BIND service on each WHM shared server itself? So if you have umpteen shared servers you would have umpteen name servers, as well?

2a. If so is it preferred/recommended to ultimately use completely separate/dedicated server(s) for DNS services for all shared servers? What is common?

3. If using the WHM shared server itself is the common practice, what are its pros and cons?

Understanding Exim_mainlog

Aug 24, 2007

For the last week or two my VPS keeps getting added to blacklists.

Yesterday I noticed that a website on the server was forward mail from a contact form to the clients AOL account, obviously scripts were completing the form on the website and that was being sent to AOL, who would of obviously blacklisted the IP.

I've stopped that now, but we're still getting black listed. I've had my VPS provider get exim to record the path that sent the e-mail, and there are no scripts on the server sending out mails that I should be worried about.

Some questions to help me.

How can you identify an outgoing e-mail? is it by the character '=>'? If so, is it normal for there to be e-mails being sent out:
2007-08-23 19:04:10 1IOH2K-00038j-Jg => /dev/null <shaun[at]sr8.co.uk> F=<aaron_straubegnvu[at]yahoo.com> R=central_filter T=**bypassed** S=0 QT=6s DT=0s
2007-08-23 19:04:10 1IOH2K-00038j-Jg Completed QT=6s

I'm puzzled as to why the server keeps being blacklisted, when I can't really see any problems in the log file?

The CBL website (which blacklisted us) says we were added at around 19:00GMT, so I've checked the logs for that time and can't really find much.

On the server there is one account with an autoresponder set as that person is away on holiday.

Understanding Dotster VPS

Jun 20, 2007

I recently went from dedicated to Dotster VPS to cut down on price and also because I do not have as many of clients I once had.

I chose their cPanel Premium
[url]

Soon after I realized via the Virtuozzo Panel, that I have limits on everything
.
I was pretty upset that none of these limits were posted anywhere on Dotsters site and its a surprise not welcomed.

I want to post some images so maybe you can tell me if their limits are reasonable or if they are way off.

[url]

I had them actually raise my diskinodes from 400/500k to 600/700k
and also my quotaugidlimit from 100 to 200.

For some reason I have 162 ugid's but i have only restored 23 or so accounts on this server, with no other special things running besides the standards. Shouldn't I be around under 100 ugid's?

So my main problems that I have is the folowing limits:

diskinodes: I have only 35 gigs used of the 50 allocated, their initial quota of 500,000 seemed low. now they bumped be to 700,000 and i'm almost there.

quotaugidlimit: for only having 23 accounts it's crazy to believe that I had to have their initial limit raise to 200. I have noticed a lot more users like #2121, #13232, #124312 and so on compaired to my dedicated server. My dedicated had about 5, this VPS shows about 30 or so.

kmemsize: their limit is 18,022,400 bytes, which I always seem to be reaching.

privvmpages: hard limit is 292,912 and i'm usually exceeding this one.

Here is a screenshot of my QoS:
[url]

Also, I noticed once I reach/exceed limits, the first things to be shutdown is my webmail and cpanel and so on, but the sites stay up Is there a way of setting up which resources are shut down in what order? To have mail up is the biggest request. I rather have ftp and cpanel down first.

I am really not happy with what is going on and gaining some user feedback would be great. I really wish Dotster had a complete breakdown of limits, before I bought.

Linux Get Last Line Of Output

Apr 4, 2008

What command could I use to get the last line of an output?

Heres why...

I use this command:

netstat -plan|grep :80|awk {'print $5'}|cut -d: -f 1|sort|uniq -c|sort -nk 1
I would like to get just the last line of the output, the output looks like this:

1 203.118.105.*
1 80.195.165.*
1 87.211.51.*
1 91.40.90.*
8 82.2.222.*
213

The reason is because I'd like to get that last figure to place into a file on a certain time period (through a cron), which will then be graphed with PHP.
