The configuration of the scripts is done automatically.

Note: The database pool monitoring script will get only configured if the Open-Xchange server is running when installing the open-xchange-munin-scripts package.

Supplementary notes for distributed munin clients

Munin node

The default munin node configuration only allows connections from localhost, which means that munin master has to run on the same host. If there already is a munin master running, that master IP has to be added to the file /etc/munin/munin-node.conf on each node:

# A list of addresses that are allowed to connect.  This must be a
# regular expression, since Net::Server does not understand CIDR-style
# network notation unless the perl module Net::CIDR is installed.  You
# may repeat the allow line as many times as you'd like

allow ^127\.0\.0\.1$

Munin master

Make sure the munin and apache packages installed. If only localhost is going to be monitored, the default configuration is sufficient. Other munin nodes can be added in the /etc/munin/munin.conf file:

# a simple host tree
[localhost.localdomain]
    address 127.0.0.1
    use_node_name yes

By default, the munin monitoring web page is only reached from localhost, other hosts or networks can be added in /etc/apache2/conf.d/munin:

Allow from localhost 127.0.0.0/8 ::1    # the default setting
Allow from 10.99.0.0/8                  # added network
