Munin

Hi,

until now we have used  svn://munin.projects.linpro.no/munin/branches/debian/lenny for what 
I've uploaded to sid and which is targeted at squeeze ;-)

For lenny we had 
svn://munin.projects.linpro.no/munin/branches/debian/lenny/tags/1.2.6-10~lenny1 :-/

I have just fixed this by doing:

$ svn mv svn://holger@...> \
  svn://holger@...>
Revision 2403 commited.
$ svn cp \
  svn://holger@...> \
  svn://holger@...>
Revision 2404 commited.

Please update your working copies ;)

For preparing munin 1.3/1.4 I recommend to create and use 
svn://munin.projects.linpro.no/munin/branches/debian/experimental first.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Tom Feiner, I've been using munin for a few years, and
finding it extremely useful on a day to day basis. Lately I've been working
on various bugs in the munin package in debian, with the guidance of
munin debian maintainers, mainly Holger Levsen.

In order to be able to help even more (without bugging the rest of
the developers to commit on my behalf) I'd like to ask for svn commit access.

Thank you,
    Tom Feiner

It's better to not modify data in the plugin, but do it by cdef.  That 
way you have original unchanged data.

The cdef is set up like this:

   qlensdb.cdef qlensdb,1000,*

to multiply by 1000.

Probably your problem deserves two graphs.  But, for _some_  graphs 
making the scale logarithmic is better.

   graph_args --logarithmic

Note that it cannot be combined with -l 0 and graphs that need to show 
negative values due to the nature of logarithms.
