Zentyal is awesome, it is a great piece of software no doubt about it. But it does lack a few thing to make it all that much better; better performance monitoring, media server stuff/DLNA etc. But it was designed as a business platform so I can’t fault it too much right?
But no worries that is all easily remedied. Good thing I can add on whatever I need. Linux <3. For the most part I found these sites to help a great bit in setting this all up. http://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Monitoring_mit_Munin/en http://www.linuxweblog.com/blogs/sandip/20081224/munin-node-plugin-configurations I've attempted to stream line the directions a little bit better, hope it helps.

hddtemp_smartctl install sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install hddtemp sudo apt-get install smartmontools sudo apt-get install munin |
Enable the plugin.

cd /etc/munin/plugins sudo ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/hddtemp_smartctl hddtemp_smartctl sudo ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/smart_ smart_sda sudo ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/smart_ smart_sdb sudo nano /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node |
At the end add:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
[smart_*] user root group disk [smart_sda] env.smartargs -H -l error -d ata [smart_sdb] env.smartargs -H -l error -d ata |
That will get you hard drive temperature monitoring. They will now show as a new section titled "sensors". If you want to add the new data as its own page create your own plugin. sudo etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/hddtemp_smartctl Paste in the following
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
[hddtemp_smartctl] user root group disk env.drives sda sdb env.args_sda -d ata env.args_sdb -d ata |
Save and you should be good to go from there.
