Comments on Server Monitoring with Munin and Monit on Debian 10

In this article, I describe how you can monitor your Debian 10 server with munin and monit. munin generates graphs about almost every aspect of your server without much configuration, while monit checks the availability of services like Apache, MySQL, Postfix and takes the appropriate action like a restart if it detects that a service is not behaving as expected. The combination of the two gives you complete monitoring: graphs that let you detect current or upcoming problems, and a watchdog that ensures the availability of the monitored services.

These articles really need a published date!  Debian 8 went EOL a year ago. https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

This article is for Debian 10 and not Debian 8, see headline "Server Monitoring with Munin and Monit on Debian 10" and it also has a publishing date in the navbar on the right side of the page, it shows "Published:Jul 01, 2021". I guess there was some caching issue for some not logged-in users as the new guide used the old URL, I've cleared the cache now.

Hi Till, great work you do here.

For my new VPS with debian 11 (bullseye) I went through this tutorial step by step, and I can go the url and see the data. But when I'm within my ispconfig3 there no data is beeing displayed in the responsible page (monitor>munin/monit). I published my url's in system>server config>server.

Any idea?

You'll have to access Munin and Monin through their URL now on ISPConfig servers as recent Browser versions block access when showing should an app through an iframe as ISPConfig does. We'll have to remove that option in ISPConfig and replace it with a link.
