Building DVMPS packages
-----------------------

1. Go to dvmps directory
2. Update the changelog if needed eg. for adding extra version information
  $ dch -i "comment"
     or
  $ dch -l-$USER "comment"
3. Build packages
  $ dpkg-buildpackage


Installing and running DVMPS service
------------------------------------
1. Install
  $ dpkg -i dvmps-server-<version>_all.deb
2. Setup DVMPS
  $ dvmps-setup
3. Running and stopping DVMPS service
  $ service dvmps {start|stop|restart}

Additional configurations:
1. Update server clock regularly. Two options:
  a) Install and configure 'ntp' (Network Time Protocol daemon) for automatic 
     system clock updates
  b) Install 'ntpdate' and use cron to update the system clock


Munin-node configuration
------------------------
Install munin-dvmps-plugin on the same machine as dvmps-server. For allowing Munin web UI to be viewed from external sources check the munin-node allow rule.

Open the /etc/munin/munin-node.conf file and look for the line beginning with word 'allow'. 
For allowing all taffic, change the line to "allow .*" and restart munin-node.
  $ service munin-node restart

#!/usr/bin/python
