    Hello!

    I just installed munin on Debian 7 with ISPConfig 3 (nginx) following this tutorial: https://www.howtoforge.com/server-monitoring-with-munin-and-monit-on-debian-wheezy
    I added this under nginx directives on one of the sites (mydomain.com):
    Code:
    location /munin {
                           alias /var/cache/munin/www;
                           auth_basic "Restricted";
    auth_basic_user_file /var/cache/munin/.htpasswd;
                           location ~* ^/munin/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|xml|txt))$ {
                                    alias /var/cache/munin/www/$1;
                           }
                    }
    Now, I have access to munin but only through mydomain.com/munin not through myISPConfighostname.com/munin.
    Is it possible to have myISPConfighostname.com/munin ?
    And why does it still says:
    Code:
    ERROR
    
    No Munin URL defined. 
    on Monitor tab > Show Munin ?

    Sure, but nginx has no global aliases, so you will have to add the above nginx directived to every website were you want to access munin from.
    you did not define the munin URL under System > Interface config.

    No, I missed that.
    What is the correct syntax?

    It is a normal url, like the ones that you enter in the url field of your web browser.

    I have created new site as a subdomain of the main site and added this in nginx directives:
    Code:
    location /munin {
                           alias /var/cache/munin/www;
                           auth_basic "Restricted";
    auth_basic_user_file /var/cache/munin/.htpasswd;
                           location ~* ^/munin/(.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|xml|txt))$ {
                                    alias /var/cache/munin/www/$1;
                           }
                    }
    So I am able to access munin with munin.domain.com/munin (could not get it to work with just munin.domain.com).
    No matter what I put in System > Server Config > Munin URL, munin.domain.com/munin or munin.domain.com/munin/index.html
    I get blank page / empty space when I go to Monitor > Show Munin

    Further investigation led me to this:
    /var/www/clients/client1/web7/log/error.log is full of errors like this:
    Code:

    Also, is there a tutorial on how to configure monit with ISPConfig 3 and nginx?
    Tutorial here: https://www.howtoforge.com/server-monitoring-with-munin-and-monit-on-debian-wheezy-p2
    mentions only apache configuration.

    This happens due to your web browser blocking the munin url as it is from a different domain, so that not directly related to your munin install or ispconfig. To circumvent that, create a new symlink:

    ln -s /var/cache/munin/www /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/web/munin

    and then use https://serverhostname.tld:8080/munin as url in ispconfig. serverhostname.tld is the hostname that you use to access ispconfig.

    These errrs are not related to munin, you can see that in the paths of the errors, the path is not the munin path and not the path of the munin alias.

    Ok, I'll check and get back to you.
    What about monit+nginx?

    Monit runs its own http server on a different port anyway, so it does not interact with nginx at all.
