+#
+#graph_period second

+# Graphics files are generated either via cron or by a CGI process.

+# It is single threaded *by design* now.

+#graph_strategy cron
+
+# munin-cgi-graph is invoked by the web server up to very many times at the
+# same time.  This is not optimal since it results in high CPU and memory
+# consumption to the degree that the system can thrash.  Again the default is
+# 6.  Most likely the optimal number for max_cgi_graph_jobs is the same as
+# max_graph_jobs.
+#
+#munin_cgi_graph_jobs 6

+# If the automatic CGI url is wrong for your system override it here:
+#
+#cgiurl_graph /munin-cgi/munin-cgi-graph

+# max_size_x and max_size_y are the max size of images in pixel.
+# Default is 4000. Do not make it too large otherwise RRD might use all

+# HTML files are normally generated by munin-html, no matter if the
+# files are used or not. You can change this to on-demand generation
+# by following the instructions in http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/CgiHowto2

+# Notes:
+# - moving to CGI for HTML means you cannot have graph generated by cron.

+# The default max number of processes is 16, and is probably ok for you.

+# A more complex example of a host tree
+#
+## First our "normal" host.
+# [fii.foo.com]
+#       address foo
+#
+## Then our other host...
+# [fay.foo.com]
+#       address fay
+#
+## IPv6 host. note that the ip adress has to be in brackets
+# [ip6.foo.com]
+#       address [2001::1234:1]
+#
+## Then we want totals...
+# [foo.com;Totals] #Force it into the "foo.com"-domain...
+#       update no   # Turn off data-fetching for this "host".
+#
+#   # The graph "load1". We want to see the loads of both machines...
+#   # "fii=fii.foo.com:load.load" means "label=machine:graph.field"
+#       load1.graph_title Loads side by side
+#       load1.graph_order fii=fii.foo.com:load.load fay=fay.foo.com:load.load
+#
+#   # The graph "load2". Now we want them stacked on top of each other.
+#       load2.graph_title Loads on top of each other
+#       load2.dummy_field.stack fii=fii.foo.com:load.load fay=fay.foo.com:load.load
+#       load2.dummy_field.draw AREA # We want area instead the default LINE2.
+#       load2.dummy_field.label dummy # This is needed. Silly, really.
+#
+#   # The graph "load3". Now we want them summarised into one field
+#       load3.graph_title Loads summarised
+#       load3.combined_loads.sum fii.foo.com:load.load fay.foo.com:load.load
+#       load3.combined_loads.label Combined loads # Must be set, as this is
+#                                                 # not a dummy field!
+#
+## ...and on a side note, I want them listen in another order (default is
+## alphabetically)
+#
+# # Since [foo.com] would be interpreted as a host in the domain "com", we
+# # specify that this is a domain by adding a semicolon.
+# [foo.com;]
