Munin is an easy to use system and network monitoring tool that uses RRDTool to generate useful visualizations of resource usage. Munin is implemented in a master and slave node structure where the master node gathers data from the slave node(s) and produces HTML output which will be placed in the directory accessible and served via a web server in an accessible web based interface for administrator to view at any time with a web browser.
