Munin graph size

Munin graphs is very small. That makes some multigrpahs useless for me. Is it possible to increase graph image size?

Solution 1:

The documentation makes reference to two global attributes, graph_width and graph_height. Have you tried changing them? Note that these are global for a particular plugin, not for the whole munin installation; you will need to set them in the config output of a single plugin (or in munin.conf) for them to take effect.

Just to check, I put the following lines into my munin.conf:

load.graph_width 1200
load.graph_height 1000

and my load graph got absolutely massive, so I expect this will work for you, too.

Solution 2:

For the record, it seems that with munin 2.0.6 it is possible to set these on the global level, with two caveats:

• if using CGI graphs (as munin 2.x does by default), updates to the munin.conf file are not picked up automatically, so restarting all the munin-cgi-graph processes is necessary
• sometime, munin-cgi-graph seems to "forget" these and revert to the default; a restart, again, helps

Tested on Debian sid with munin 2.0.6-1.
