apt_all

Name

apt_all - Plugin to monitor packages that should be installed on systems using apt-get (mostly Debian, but also RedHat).

Notes

The differences between this plugin and the apt plugins, is that this plugin separates each distro with its own plot, and actually draws graphs.

Configuration

You can add some extra options to the apt call, in order to override your /etc/apt.conf defaults.

[apt_all] env.MUNIN_APT_RELEASES = stable,testing,unstable env.options -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=false -o APT::Get::Show-Versions=false env.releases stable experimental

“options” is empty by default. “releases” is a space separated list of release names. It defaults to the empty string. This default triggers the automatic detection of available distributions from the URLs of all configured repositories.

If “MUNIN_APT_RELEASES” is non-empty (a comma separated list of releases), then it overrides “releases”. This setting is deprecated.

Note that apt is called with no extra options by default, so it fully honors your /etc/apt.conf defaults.

Usage

The plugin depends on a periodic update of apt’s package cache.

This can be accomplished by using systemd’s timer for periodic updates or via apt’s compatibility helper (/etc/cron.daily/apt-compat).

The relevant apt configuration setting for daily updates is:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";

(the numeric value defines the number of days between updates)

Alternatively you can also configure a simple cron job for updating the cache more frequently:

/etc/cron.d/munin-plugin-apt
53  * * * *    root    perl -e 'sleep(3600);' && apt-get update >/dev/null 2>&1

Remember to randomize the starting hour for this cron job on your servers.

=head1 CONFIGURATION

You can add some extra options to the apt call, in order to override
your /etc/apt.conf defaults.

[apt_all]
env.MUNIN_APT_RELEASES = stable,testing,unstable
env.options -o Debug::pkgDepCache::AutoInstall=false -o APT::Get::Show-Versions=false
env.releases stable experimental

"options" is empty by default.
"releases" is a space separated list of release names.  It defaults to
the empty string.  This default triggers the automatic detection of
available distributions from the URLs of all configured repositories.

If "MUNIN_APT_RELEASES" is non-empty (a comma separated list of releases),
then it overrides "releases".  This setting is deprecated.
