Munin, Nagios, pretty graphs
I've had a Linode for around a week, and had a couple of crashes already and am tuning it.
What graphing package do people recommend? I've heard Munin mentioned on the Linode forum, but read bad things that it uses a lot of resources.
I'm using CentOS and would appreciate any advice about what package to use for monitoring stats like swap file usage and Apache stats so I can continue the tuning.
P.S. I have offloaded all my static files to a different server, so Lighttpd is not for me

It isn't that resource intensive (RSS 2 megs, plus several multiples more during updates) that it's going to outweigh its usefulness in the short term. Particularly if you're on a 720, and looking to go higher.
