Setup alternative Twitter Bootstrap based Munin template

The Munin's generated web pages are very old fashioned and dull. Its design uses tables with small text and too much spaces. This guide will show how to change the Munin's template and should be continuation of Setup Munin on CentOS 7 with nginx. There will be two alternative Munin 2.x templates will be shown here:

1. Munin Dynamic Template

This alternative template uses jQuery and Twitter Bootstrap for Munin 1.x and 2.x versions that enhanced user experience and improve web pages' appearance. The following are the steps to setup this template:

1. Download the template:

         
   cd /opt/
   git clone https://github.com/DaveMDS/munin_dynamic_template.git
         
       

2. Open your custom Munin configuration file:

         
   vi /etc/munin/conf.d/00-munincustom.conf
         
       

   ... and append the script below:

         
   tmpldir /opt/munin_dynamic_template/munin2
   staticdir /opt/munin_dynamic_template/munin2/static
         
       

3. Restart the spawn-fcgi-munin-html CGI:

         
   service spawn-fcgi-munin-html restart
         
       

4. Open the nginx configuration for munin.yoursite.com:

         
   vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/munin.yoursite.com.conf
         
       

   ... and replace the content with the following script:

         
   server {
     listen XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80; # IPv4
     listen [XXXX:XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX]:80 ipv6only=on; # IPv6
     server_name munin.yoursite.com;
   
     location / {
       fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/)(.*);
       fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
       include fastcgi_params;
       access_log off;
       error_log /var/log/munin/munin-nginx-html-error.log error;
       fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/munin/fcgi-munin-html.sock;
       auth_basic "Restricted";
       auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd-users;
   
       # Serve static files
       location /static/ {
         alias /opt/munin_dynamic_template/munin2/static/;
       }
   
       # Munin CGI graph
       location ^~ /munin-cgi/munin-cgi-graph/ {
         access_log off;
         fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/munin-cgi/munin-cgi-graph)(.*);
         fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
         fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/munin/fcgi-munin-graph.sock;
         include fastcgi_params;
       }
     }
   }
         
       

   Note: Change the XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX and XXXX:XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXX with your server's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses respectively.

5. Restart nginx:

         
   systemctl restart nginx
         
       

6. Check your Munin web interface and should look something like this:

     server_name munin.yoursite.com;
   
     location / {
       fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/)(.*);
       fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
       include fastcgi_params;
       access_log off;
