## SYNOPSIS

## OPTIONS

  Also show rm-commands when doing --shell

- **--snmp \<host\|cidr,...\>**

  Do SNMP probing on the host or CIDR network (e.g. "192.168.1.0/24"). This may take some time, especially if the probe includes many hosts. This option can be specified multiple times, or once with a comma-separated list, to include more than one host/CIDR.

- **--snmpversion \<ver\>**

  Set the SNMP version (1, 2c or 3) to use when probing. Default is "2c".

- **--snmpcommunity \<comm\>**

  Set SNMP community to use when probing. Default is "public".

## DESCRIPTION

Munin's node is a daemon that Munin connects to fetch data. This data is stored in .rrd-files, and later graphed and htmlified. It's designed to let it be very easy to graph new datasources.

Munin-node-configure is a script to show the current configuration of which plugins the host is running, as well as suggestions on what changes to make to this configuration. Munin-node-configure does this by using *munin-run*(1) to ask the plugins themselves of wether they should be run or not.

## FILES
