Btrfs/Munin
Munin Monitoring Tool[edit | edit source]
Munin is a very popular monitoring tool. It can monitor several computers and plot the iconic RRDTool plots that are served up as a HTML page.
Plugins[edit | edit source]
Munin comes with many plugins by default. For Btrfs monitoring you should use the btrfs_usage plugin. It can be found on most dristros as munin-plugins-btrfs or munin-plugins-extra.
The python-btrfs library is needed for the plugin to work. It's available on many distributions and also directly from GitHub. It includes the btrfs_usage plugin in examples.
By default, the plugin scans all Btrfs filesystems and adds them to the munin graphs. If you want to change the title of a graph[1] you need to edit you /etc/munin/munin.conf and add the following to your host section:
[localhost] address 127.0.0.1 use_node_name yes btrfs_usage_fe0a1142_51ab_4181_b635_adbf9f4ea6e6.graph_title Btrfs usage for 6TB btrfs_usage_df68a30d_d26e_4b9c_9606_a130e66ce63d.graph_title Btrfs usage for Backup disk btrfs_usage_446d32cb_a6da_45f0_9246_1483ad3420e0.graph_title Btrfs usage for Root btrfs_usage_1128e72e_b00f_4c2a_a1e1_afa89f3c11cc.graph_title Btrfs usage for Boot
Look at the output from btrfs filesystem show to get the uuid for the corresponding graph titles. Note to change the dash - to an undesrcore _.
