 # ebusd-munin
 Collection of munin plugins related to ebusd.
+These plugins can easily be used to feeda munin node with data from a local ebusd instance.
+Personally, I use them for checking mainly temperatures, pressures and earned energy of my heatpump. Looking at the graphs produced by munin I find it rather easy to know what's going on in the heatpump.
+
+# Installation:
+- prerequisite is of course a running munin installation on the local host
+- to install the plugins:
+  - git checkout https://github.com/john30/ebusd-munin.git
+  - chmod a+x ebusd-munin/plugins/*
+  - sudo cp ebusd-munin/plugins/* /etc/munin/plugins
+  - sudo munin-node-configure --shell
+  - run all "ln -s" commands printed by munin-node-configure
+  - sudo service munin-node reload
+  - that's it
