Click here to create a PostgreSQL credentials file. Then continue.

Install munin as follows:

apt-get install libdbd-pg-perl

apt-get install munin-node

Setup munin to allow the monitoring server to gather statistics as follow:

nano /etc/munin/munin-node.conf

Add the following to the bottom of the file:

allow $ip-address-of-monitoring-server%

Change the following:

host_name %hostname-of-client%

Save the file. Run the following command to check to update stats available:

munin-node-configure --shell | bash -

Check which stats are available

cd /etc/munin/plugins

Add a firewall rule to allow the monitoring server to get the stats:

ufw allow 4949

Thats it. As usual there is a lot of documentation about Munin out there.
