In this report, we describe the techniques we have developed for the long term monitoring of the surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory using raw muon traces collected from each detector at regular intervals. From these muon traces, we can perform offline monitoring of pedestals, relative gains of each channel (electronics+PMT), and the quality of the water and the liner. We are able to track the relative gains of each detector at the 2% level using these techniques. Additionally, the raw muon data allows us to perform an indep endent cross check of the online calibration algorithms used in the surface detectors, and to improve them.
