# Resource Monitoring
The below commands will setup ```munin``` for monitoring resource utilization on your PiFrame. This is wholly optional but can provide insights if your PiFrame is exhibiting odd behavior.
## Important Notes
* This setup will deploy a *dedicated instance* of ```lighttpd``` to handle access to the ```munin``` data. Given how lean ```lighttpd``` is on resources, this saves many hassles with virtual hosts and the like.
* This setup uses cgi to generate ```munin``` graphs. The Raspberry Pi cpu can take awhile to generate graphs. Please be patient. This approach was chosen to keep ```munin``` from consuming resource generating graphs every time it collects statistics. This also helps prevent excessive disk writes to the micro sd card extending its life.
## Setup
``` sh
pacman -S munin perl-cgi-fast
nano -w /etc/munin/munin.conf
graph_strategy cgi
html_strategy cron
