It is gud that Munin doesn't rely on that. The installation progresses wonderfully well. Thank you for the wonderful description! <br /> <br /> However, you have mentioned that the munin master will run a cronjob every 5 minutes. Will an entry be added to the /etc/cronjob file? My installation does not have one. If it is needed, can you please elucidate the line please? I had been trying setup netmrg for the past week and was facing a lot of problems with SNMP.

I am using Ubuntu Hardy and installed the binaries that are in the repositories.

The logging took a long time to start on my system. I left my system on over the weekend and now things are going wonderfully well.

However, graphs from my colleague’s system, where I installed the node, has not yet started displaying.

Thank you, Jereme for the reply, my cron.d/munin file has the entry. It works fine now.
