It is assumed that you will be using the same server for monitoring and backup. To setup munin to gather client statistics, follow the procedure below.

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

ufw allow 4949

To install munin, type the following: 

apt-get install munin

Add the clients to the /etc/munin/munin.conf file as follows.

Open the file for editing. 

nano /etc/munin/munin.conf

Add one of the following for each client: 

 [%hostname-of-client%]
    use_node_name yes
    address %ip-address-of-client%

Setup the munin server. 

munin-check

Wait for about 5 to 10 minutes for munin to gather data and then check out the stats as follows.

Open a web browser and type the following in the address bar: 

http://%hostname-of-monitoring-server%/munin

You should get a page like this:
