Munin is a “networked resource monitoring tool that can help analyze resource trends and ‘what just happened to kill our performance?’ problems.” According to Max, you can install children on multiple servers and have them report back to aggregated data on a parent. It’s useful for monitoring site performance because you can configure notifications if the site load goes above a certain number, etc. This would be worth looking through at some point in the near future.

Installing on Ubuntu is quite easy, as there are repositories for both master and node.
Overall, it’s pretty easy to install and configure. The one issue that I ran into, however, was that it is executing as “munin” so you need to make sure your folders have the proper ownership.
