How to disable updates for a host in Munin but keep the historical graphs?

  • 772

I need to disable updates for a particular host but I want to keep the graphs for historical data.

I've tried using update no on the host definition in munin.conf but that removes the host from the overview etc. This isn't quite what I was expecting based on the docs.

The HTML and images are (obviously) still there in /var/www/html/munin and I can still load the URL manually, but I'd like it to be listed in the overview.

  1. Change the plugin to output "nan" (not a number) every time it is called. This will cause munin to not plot anything.

  2. You could disable the munin-node running on the device you no longer wish to monitor. Unfortunately stats will still try to update and graphs will flatline but historical data will be preserved.
