easy debian server monitoring

Finally I ran into a tool to quickly set up monitoring of a Debian server.

"aptitude install munin"

It graphs more than I was hoping for, including: disk space, cpu load, network and even disk smart parameters.

Basic configuration of alerts is simple, edit /etc/munin/munin.conf
- Uncomment and edit a contact -line
- Determine name of plugin to configure, for example "cpu"
- it's the suffix after hyphen in the detail view URL.
- Determine name of the field to configure, for example "user"
- The fields are listed in the bottom of the detail view.

Add the warning and critical limits in [localhost.localdomain] section, for example:
cpu.user.warning 200
cpu.user.critical 200
