Each plugin in munin has some configuration settings and one of them is the category it belongs to (graph_category).
I would like to change the category of some plugins to the non-default one. As I see in the munin.conf man page, I can change specific directives for plugins per host like this:
[machine1.your.dom]
address localhost
load.graph_title Edited title of the load-graph
Now I tried the same with the ping plugin and the graph_category instead of the graph_title as shows this example, but I can't get it to work.
I have a machine pinging different hosts with different meaning, so I would like to group them in different categories for easy access.
for example:
ping_192.168.1.1 <- category: lan connectivity
ping_192.168.1.2 <- category: lan connectivity
ping_10.0.0.10 <- category: intranet connectivity
ping_10.0.0.20 <- category: intranet connectivity
ping_www.google.com <- category: internet connectivity
UPDATE: I tried the same with another plugin and it worked. I suspect it's something with the periods included in the domain or IP address of the ping plugin name.
