Plans for Munin

There are plans and wishes for Munin. For features that does not have priority yet see WishList.

Munin 1.2 maintenance

Munin 1.2 will probably not be maintained (that's not entirely true, it is being maintained in Debian until the last Debian with Munin 1.2 is end-of-lifed).

Munin 1.4

Munin 1.4 was released in November 2009. It included hierarchy nesting, nested graphs (multigraph extention).

Munin 1.5

Snide (Steve Schnepp) is working on 1.5 with this feature set:

CGI-graphing a mainline feature (enhances scalability)
Zoomable graphs
Partial ssh-to-node support
Polling intervals down to one minute
Dirty fetch (enhances scalability)
Possibly (partial) spooling (enhances scalability)

This should make munin more scalable than 1.4

Munin 1.5 might be called 2.0 too, the cgi and zoom features are pretty significant.

Beyond that

We have plans.

Consolidate RRDs so that one service (~plugin) gets one RRD. This enhances update and graph speed (see #444).
Scalability: There are some proposed extensions to handle this.
Need to enhance presentation
A Dashboard showing interesting things
extrapolation feature that forecasts failures (disk full, temperature in excess of 40C) with the help of rrd
anomality detection with the help of rrd
A common Munin::Plugin oop framework for module creation in perl, python and ruby (ssm wants to do this)

Other things that needs doing
