DESCRIPTION
===========

The munin-graph script is run by munin-cron, and creates graphs from
all RRD files in the munin database directory.

OPTIONS
=======

Some options can be negated by prefixing them with "no".
Example: --fork and --nofork

.. option:: --fork

   By default munin-graph forks subprocesses for drawing graphs to
   utilize available cores and I/O bandwidth. Can be negated
   with --nofork [--fork]

.. option:: --n <processes>

   Max number of concurrent processes [6]

.. option:: --force

   Force drawing of graphs that are not usually drawn due to options
   in the config file. Can be negated with --noforce [--noforce]

.. option:: --lazy

   Only redraw graphs when needed. Can be negated with --nolazy
   [--lazy]

.. option:: --help

   View this message.

.. option:: --version

.. option:: --host <host>

   Limit graphed hosts to <host>. Multiple --host options may be
   supplied.

.. option:: --only-fqn <FQN>

   For internal use with CGI graphing. Graph only a single fully
   qualified named graph,

   For instance: --only-fqn
   root/Backend/dafnes.example.com/diskstats_iops

   Always use with the correct --host option.

.. option:: --config <file>

   Use <file> as configuration file. [/etc/munin/munin.conf]

.. option:: --pinpoint <start,stop>
