This software is an alternative implementation of https://github.com/munin-monitoring/munin-node-win32. Mostly because the old one was last updated 2015. Another things is that the old node needs VC++ 2008, which is painful to use.

1. Install Python3 (not 2!)
2. Install the requirements listed in requirements.txt
3. Run py munin-node.py.

By using Python I could achieve the easiest solution for this task. Other languages also need a large toolchain to install, which is not needed when using Python. Also Python offers the advantage to develop it on Linux, too (even when the plugins won't work).

• The command list $nodename and list are identical.
• Putty and the Windows telnet command do not work properly when connnecting to the listened port
• Not all configuration values are supported

In general, the plugin supports the settings listed on http://guide.munin-monitoring.org/en/latest/reference/munin-node.conf.html.

Yet there are some platform specific exceptions which are not supported:

• user
• group
• ignore_file
• global_timeout
• background
• sid
• The Perl based Net::Server configurations
• pid_file

Every plugin is located in /plugins. The program will register new Python based extensions on runtime.

The filename should equal the class name. Also, each class should offer the non-static methods config and fetch. Both of these functions should return strings.
