Enhance your munin load graph
This is the default output of the munin load plugin.
I’ve patched it to add a permanent blue line indicating the number of cpu of the server. The resulted graph looks like this :
You can download the patched plugin here. It is tested with Linux and FreeBSD.

Munin and Use of uninitializer value in eval
On some of freshly installed servers (Debian Etch), I encountered these error messages in /var/log/munin/munin-node.log:
Use of uninitialized value in eval {block} exit at /usr/sbin/munin-node line 456, <CHILD> line 8.
What a great error message 
After digging into Google results, I found it was just a problem with host_name variable in the configuration. Default value is hostname.localdomain. I’ve replaced it with a valid hostname and it works!
