Gabriel Filion d4188712d9 create new plugin for graphing PuppetDB's usage of JVM Heapspace 
PuppetDB requires a pretty high amount of memory allocated to it. If you
don't give enough memory space to the JVM, PuppetDB might crash when it
has fully used the available max memory. This plugin should be useful
for better tuning up your instance(s) of PuppetDB.

Currently, it's only compatible with PuppetDB 6.x since it's requesting
data from the API as described for that version:

https://puppet.com/docs/puppetdb/6.0/api/metrics/v1/mbeans.html#jvm-metrics

To add support for more versions, one would need to consult the same
documentation for different versions and to adapt URLs used and the code
that's obtaining the data from JSON if the layout of the responses is
different.

Contributed Munin Plugins

This plethora of plugins covering various topics was contributed by many different users of munin.

See the gallery for a browsable overview of these plugins.

Purpose of this repository

This repository of contributed plugin strives to achieve the following goals:

  • allow users to find interesting plugins
  • allow contributors to publish their plugins
  • simplify cooperative maintenance of plugins

Contributed plugins are maintained primarily by their authors. You may file bug reports for plugin issue here in this repository (munin-contrib), but please do not forget to notify the author of the plugin (see the plugin's documentation), too.

Please note, that this repository is not supposed to be a dumping site for random plugins of low quality. The related infrastructure (e.g the gallery or automated tests) require a certain level of quality. Please see below for details.

Submit a new plugin

  1. check if a similar plugin exists and if it can be extended/changed instead of adding a new plugin
    • please avoid code copies - they are a maintenance burden
  2. add documentation including configuration, author, license and magic markers
  3. pick a suitable category
  4. use style check tools for the language of the plugin (e.g. shellcheck for shell and flake8 for Python)
  5. pick a suitable name and location
  6. bonus:
  7. open a pull request with your new plugin or send it attached to an email to the mailing list

See the plugin development documentation for more details.

Modify an existing plugin

  • try to keep the plugin backwards compatible (e.g. keep data fieldnames unchanged)
    • improvements of code quality and features can justify incompatible changes of existing plugins
  • bonus:

Plugin name and location

The following descriptions are intentions - they do not necessarily describe the current state for all plugins. Please open a pull request if you want to align the current structure along the goals outlined below:

  • the top level directory should describe a related software or vendor
    • use concepts or platforms only if it is really necessary (e.g. cpu, bsd, memory)
  • subdirectories are usually not required
