Monitor AVM fritz box 7390 with Munin

These days it apparently has become important again to monitor how much traffic one uses. Otherwise you might end up with pre-internet-era link speed (thanks to capital t here in Germany). So lets configure a (running) munin instance to monitor the bandwidth usage of your AVM fritz box (7390).

  1. Download avm-fritzbox-wan-traffic from github or munin-monitoring directly

    1. You might have to change '$host' to something resolvable
  2. Move avm-fritzbox-wan-traffic to e.g. /usr/local/share/munin/plugins/

  3. apt-get install php (if it ain't installed yet)

  4. ln -s /usr/local/share/munin/plugins/avm-fritzbox-wan-traffic /etc/munin/plugins/avm-fritzfox-wan-traffic

  5. Add “[avm-fritzbox-wan-traffic] \ user nobody” to /etc/munin/plugins-conf.d/munin-node

  6. Restart munin-node with “service munin-node restart”

    1. If you happen to run freetz, make sure upnp does not get removed (“Removal patches” > “Remove UPnP (igdd/upnp)” and “Other patches” > “Disable igd/upnp”)
