apt

Name

apt - Monitor the packages that should be installed on systems using apt-get.

Applicable Systems

Mostly Debian and Ubuntu but also RedHat and other distributions which now use apt.

Configuration

This plugin needs a cronjob that runs ‘apt-get update’ every hour or so

/etc/cron.d/munin-plugin-apt
53 * * * *     root    apt-get update > /dev/null 2>&1
23 08 * * *    root    apt-get update > /dev/null

Remember to randomize when these cronjobs are run on your servers

Usage

Link this plugin in /etc/munin/plugins/ and restart the munin-node.

Notes

This plugin does not actually draw graphs; it is rather designed to generated warnings. To get a graph showing the number of available packages, please see the “apt_all” plugin.
