munin

It seems like linode's number only goes to 100%, while munin goes to 800% (the max on the idle counter is 799.9).

So, assuming I'm consuming 1/10th of a physical machine, that would mean a steady state 40% number in the dashboard or in munin would be 'fair' (although I am allowed to have periods of higher use).

And munin would go to 400% as well (ignoring idle, which might be busted, according to the referenced thread).

In this article I will describe how you can monitor your Mandriva 2010.0 server with munin and monit. munin produces nifty little graphics about nearly every aspect of your server (load average, memory usage, CPU usage, MySQL throughput, eth0 traffic, etc.) without much configuration, whereas monit checks the availability of services like Apache, MySQL, Postfix and takes the appropriate action such as a restart if it finds a service is not behaving as expected.
