hi

thanks for your reply Chris J.

i have indeed started the client thus:

> /etc/init.d/munin-node restart

i have also done:

 > /usr/share/munin/munin-update --force-root

here's the munin.conf file:

> dbdir   /var/lib/munin
> htmldir /var/www/html/munin
> logdir  /var/log/munin
> rundir  /var/run/munin
> 
> tmpldir /etc/munin/templates
> 
> [machine.address.co.uk]
>      address 127.0.0.1
>      use_node_name yes

and here's the munin-node.conf file:

> log_level 4
> log_file /var/log/munin/munin-node.log
> port 4949
> pid_file /var/run/munin/munin-node.pid
> background 1
> setseid 1
> 
> # Which port to bind to;
> host *
> user root
> group root
> setsid yes
> 
> # Regexps for files to ignore
> 
> ignore_file ~$
> ignore_file \.bak$
> ignore_file %$
> ignore_file \.dpkg-(tmp|new|old|dist)$
> ignore_file \.rpm(save|new)$
> 
> allow ^127\.0\.0\.1$
>

this command appears to work ok:

> [root at machine root]# telnet localhost 4949
> Trying 127.0.0.1...
> Connected to localhost.
> Escape character is '^]'.
> # munin node at machine.address.co.uk
> Connection closed by foreign host.

and all the munin log looks ok:

> [root at machine root]# tail /var/log/munin/munin-graph.log

> Feb 24 10:25:04 - Processed domain: server.co.uk (2.09 sec)
> Feb 24 10:25:04 - Munin-graph finished (2.18 sec)

but the graphs are as blank as anything so i'm stuck.

thanks.
