Předmět: Unbound stats -> unbound_munin_ + another monitoring system
</aside><br><blockquote data-email="KazatelM@seznam.cz"><div>Hello community,</div><div><br></div><div>I tried to monitor Unbound via unbound-control stats from two monitoring systems (munin, check_mk) even if then Unbound configuration is set to </div><div>server:</div><div> statistics-interval: 0</div><div> extended-statistics: yes</div><div> statistics-cumulative: no</div><div><br></div><div>so counters are reset to 0 every command period. Munin (https://nlnetlabs.nl/documentation/unbound/howto-statistics/) period is 5 minutes and check_mk (https://github.com/michalskalski/nagios_check_mk/tree/master/unbound_stats) is every minute. Check_mk agent plugin uses the same philosophy to print counters from unbound-control stats. </div><div><br></div><div>The problem is obvious, each check resets statistic counters to 0 and counters correlation are malformed in a given time period for each monitoring system.</div><div><br></div><div>Can someone advise me how to update munin plugin to load data from "<span style="background-color:transparent">statistics-cumulative: yes" option?</span></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards, </div>-- <br>Jeskyňka Kazatel<br></blockquote></div></body></html>
