Hi,

I just spent some time debugging why munin lists the traffic to two IP
addresses and found out that the ip_ plugin misinterpreted whitelist
rules in my firewall configuration.

I would like to suggest that the ip_ plugin is changed to only honor
rules that are commented (iptables --comment) munin and/or rules in
chains named munin-input and/or munin-output so that it doesn't
misinterpret other people's rules.

Greetings
Marc

This one also applies to the version in unstable.

Two years later, it still applies.
