       Munin-update  is a part of the package Munin, which is used in combination with Munin's node.  Munin is a
       group of programs to gather data from Munin's nodes, graph them, create html-pages, and  optionally  warn
       Nagios about any off-limit values.

       Munin-update does the gathering. It is usually only used from within munin-cron.

       It  contacts  each  host's  munin-node  in  turn, gathers data from it, and stores them in .rrd-files. If
       necessary, it will create the rrd-files and the directories to store them in.
