Munin Graph Draw Styles

| 1 Comment

Munin offers a number of options to control the appearance and style of the graphs it generates.

One is how the data is drawn on the graph.

  • LINE1, LINE2, LINE3 - various thicknesses of lines
  • AREA - a solid coloured area (below the line)
  • STACK - Lines or areas “stacked up” on top of previous lines or areas.

What the documentation doesn’t currently do is show you visually how these different options render. So we thought we’d do that.
