DESCRIPTION

44       Munin-update is a part of the package Munin, which is used in combina‐
45       tion with Munin's node.  Munin is a group of programs to gather data
46       from Munin's nodes, graph them, create html-pages, and optionally warn
47       Nagios about any off-limit values.
48
49       Munin-update does the gathering. It is usually only used from within
50       munin-cron.
51
52       It contacts each host's munin-node in turn, gathers data from it, and
53       stores them in .rrd-files. If necessary, it will create the rrd-files
54       and the directories to store them in.
