MUNIN-RUN(1)	      User Contributed Perl Documentation	  MUNIN-RUN(1)

NAME
       munin-run - A program to	run Munin plugins from the command line

SYNOPSIS
       munin-run [options] <plugin> [ config | autoconf	| snmpconf | suggest ]

DESCRIPTION
       munin-run is a script to	run Munin plugins from the command-line.  It's
       useful when debugging plugins, as they are run in the same conditions
       as they are under munin-node.

OPTIONS
       --config	<configfile>
	    Use	<file> as configuration	file.
	    [/usr/local/etc/munin/munin-node.conf]

       --servicedir <dir>
	    Use	<dir> as plugin	dir. [/usr/local/etc/munin/plugins/]

       --sconfdir <dir>
	    Use	<dir> as plugin	configuration dir.
	    [/usr/local/etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/]

       --sconffile <file>
	    Use	<file> as plugin configuration.	Overrides sconfdir.
	    [undefined]

       --paranoia
	    Only run plugins owned by root and check permissions.  [disabled]

       --ignore-systemd-properties
	    Do not try to detect and enforce the locally configured hardening
	    flags of the "munin-node" service unit. This detection is skipped,
	    if systemd is not enabled.	The hardening flags may	cause subtile
	    surprises.	For example "ProtectHome=yes" prevents the "df"	plugin
	    from determining the state of the "home" partition.	 [disabled]

       --help
	    View this help message.

       --debug
	    Print debug	messages.  Debug messages are sent to STDOUT and are
	    prefixed with "#" (this makes it easier for	other parts of munin
	    to use munin-run and still have --debug on).  Only errors go to
	    STDERR.

       --pidebug
	    Plugin debug.  Sets	the environment	variable MUNIN_DEBUG to	1 so
	    that plugins may enable debugging.	[disabled]

       --version
	    Show version information.

NOTES FOR SYSTEMD USERS
       The "munin-node"	service	is usually started by systemd via a
       "munin-node.service" definition.	 Some distributions enable hardening
       settings	in this	service	file in	order to restrict the allowed set of
       activities for the "munin-node" process.	 This may cause	surprising
       differences between the result of "munin-run" and the real "munin-node"
       service.

       A popular example of such a surprising restriction is "ProtectHome=yes"
       combined	with the "df" plugin.  The restriction silently	prevents the
       plugin from determining the status of mountpoints below /home.

       "munin-run" tries to mimic this behavior	of "munin-node"	automatically.
       Thus the	execution of "munin-run	df" should provide the same output as
       "echo fetch df |	nc localhost munin".

       If you want to debug potential issues of	systemd	restrictions, then you
       may want	to use the parameters "--ignore-systemd-properties" and
       "--debug".  Permanent overrides of systemd properties can be configured
       locally via "systemctl edit munin-node".	 See "man systemd.exec"	for
       the documentation of systemd's properties.
