# 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

apt install munin
nano -w /etc/munin/munin.conf
    graph_strategy cgi
    html_strategy cron
    [piframe]
        address 127.0.0.1
        use_node_name yes
touch /var/log/munin/munin-cgi-graph.log
chown munin: /var/log/munin/munin-cgi-graph.log
munin-node-configure --shell # activate useful plugins
sudo -sHu munin munin-cron # prime munin data
systemctl enable --now munin-node
systemctl restart munin-node
cat > /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd-munin.conf <<EOF
# Apply the following tweaks to the /etc/munin/munin.conf file ahead of running lighttpd for munin
## Use cgi rendering for graph and html
