Metrics, Graph layouts

Reporting Layout
There is a lot of white space left when viewing the reporting tab and sub sections. I think it would be better use of this space to show the graphs by type and lay them out in a liquid grid rather than a list.

Remote Monitor
Another enhancement would be to enable munin-node ​http://munin-monitoring.org/ for remote central monitoring. I would think this is more suited to the plugin system. This would provide better long term monitoring and tighter integration with existing systems.

Your first request is a duplicate of ticket 1022. Your second request however, is interesting. The only potential fly in the ointment item is that munin is written entirely in perl, which would make it more difficult for us to potentially use longterm without a rewrite of some kind.

That being said, I'll take a closer look at munin -- it might be the welcome replacement for collectd that we have needed for a while, and even with perl the space savings might be great enough to do a drop-in replacement.

atleast can whel sombody make a Munin Freenas plugin?

I assume you mean munin-node: ​http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/munin-node/

I've put in a PBI request at forums.pcbsd.org/showthread.php?p=91292.

Is munin-master also required? ​http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/munin-master/

[Skaven]

i mean Node and Master, i want us my freenas to become my master and haw node on my other computers

[Skaven]

so i can connect to munin server on my freeness and us ​http://webin-apps.com/apps/imunin

[dlavigne]

Also created a request for munin-master: ​http://forums.pcbsd.org/showthread.php?p=91293

I dont see any reason for Munin-master or statics in GUI, but Munin-node would be wery welcome. We are monitoring all our services with Munin and it would be great to have freeNAS also monitored. I think it would be quite easy to add only node part of munin.
