.SH NAME
munin\-node \- A daemon to gather information in cooperation with the main
Munin program
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
munin-node [\-\-options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
munin-node is a daemon for reporting statistics on system performance.
.PP
It doesn't produce these itself, but instead relies on a number of plugins
which are responsible for gathering the data they require, and
describing how this should be graphed.  In fact, it does little more than
fielding requests from the Munin master, running the appropriate plugins,
and returning the output they produce.
