nscd_

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# nscd (name server caching daemon) statistics
#
# Tested with nscd 2.13 on Debian 7.8
#
# This plugin is capable to show:
# - per-database (passwd, group, hosts, services):
#     - Suggested size
#     - Cache hit rate
#     - Number of currently cached values
#     - Number of max cached values
#
# Required permissions:
# - root permissions to run "nscd -g"
#
# OS: *NIX
#
# Author: Oliver Ladner <waste@lugh.ch>
#
# Configuration:
# - set env.nscd_cfg to nscd.conf path if necessary
# - Configure to run as root in /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node
#   [nscd_*]
#    user root
#
# Notes:
#
# A low cache hit rate in combination with a shared cache configuration is
# normal, as clients can search the cache directly without asking the nscd
# daemon first. See http://goo.gl/dkwzDH
