## DESCRIPTION

Munin-node is a daemon that Munin connects to fetch data.  This data is stored in .rrd-files on the central server , and later graphed and htmlified.

munin-run is a perlscript to run the plugins used by the munin-node daemon from the command line.  It's helpful to debug plugins as they are run the same way with the same user and same environment settings as within the munin-node.

For more information, see the documentation section at \<http://munin.sf.net/\>.
