Test driving Munin service statistics on a LAMP virtual machine
Someone looking to host a high-availability LAMP application using multiple servers (such as a cloud-based app with load balancing) needs insight into the performance profile of every piece of the stack. Munin provides that.
Ubuntu setup was as simple as

The initial list of Munin graphs on my virtual server was divided into the following categories:
[ Apache Disk Mysql Network Other Postfix Processes System ] |
