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/lo-
	  cal/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/plu-
	  gin-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 sur-
	  prises.  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 pre-
	  fixed 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 set-
     tings in this service file in order to restrict the allowed set of activi-
     ties 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 plu-
     gin 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.
