Monitor Apache SSL with Munin

On my munin-node-1.4.5p5, I can only graph HTTP activity ; no HTTPS. There is a plugin though that enables graphing both HTTP and HTTPS.

  • Grab the plugin here ;
  • Copy it in /etc/munin/plugins/ in replacement for the original Munin plugin ;
  • Configure /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/openbsd-packages to know about the Apache ports to monitor:
    (...)
    [apache_*]
    env.ssl yes
    env.port 80
    env.ports 443
    (...)
  • Restart munin_node

Wait about 5 minutes and check your new shiny HTTP/SSL graphs!

Here’s how:
