+This is a set of munin plugins to monitor virtual machines managed via libvirt.
+
+See INSTALL for installation instructions.
+
+The default uri used to connect to libvirt is "qemu:///system". This can be
+changed in the plugin configuration:
+
+cat <<EOF >/etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/libvirt
+[libvirt-*]
+env.uri xen:///
+EOF
+
+libvirt-mem and libvirt-cputime support limits[1] for critical and warning
+values. These are set to 90% (warning) and 95% (critical) by default. However
+you can change them in /etc/munin/munin.conf:
+
+[somehost.example.com]
+libvirt_cputime.total_pc.warning  60
+libvirt_cputime.total_pc.critical 75
+libvirt_mem.total_pc.warning  25
+libvirt_mem.total_pc.critical 50
