Zentyal and Munin

(Last Updated On: July 3, 2014)

Zentyal is awesome, it is a great piece of software no doubt about it. But it does lack a few thing to make it all that much better; better performance monitoring, media server stuff/DLNA etc. But it was designed as a business platform so I can’t fault it too much right?

But no worries that is all easily remedied. Good thing I can add on whatever I need. Linux <3. For the most part I found these sites to help a great bit in setting this all up. http://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Monitoring_mit_Munin/en http://www.linuxweblog.com/blogs/sandip/20081224/munin-node-plugin-configurations I've attempted to stream line the directions a little bit better, hope it helps.

Enable the plugin.

At the end add:

That will get you hard drive temperature monitoring. They will now show as a new section titled "sensors". If you want to add the new data as its own page create your own plugin. sudo etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/hddtemp_smartctl Paste in the following

Save and you should be good to go from there.
