# Plugin to monitor the number of interrupts and context switches on a system. 
#
# Idea and base from Ragnar Wisløff.
#
# Usage: Link or copy into /etc/munin/node.d/
#
# $Log$
# Revision 1.6  2004/12/10 10:47:49  jimmyo
# Change name from ${scale} to ${graph_period}, to be more consistent.
#
# Revision 1.5  2004/12/09 22:12:56  jimmyo
# Added "graph_period" option, to make "graph_sums" usable.
#
# Revision 1.4  2004/11/21 00:17:12  jimmyo
# Changed a lot of plugins so they use DERIVE instead of COUNTER.
#
# Revision 1.3  2004/09/25 22:29:16  jimmyo
# Added info fields to a bunch of plugins.
#
# Revision 1.2  2004/05/20 13:57:12  jimmyo
# Set categories to some of the plugins.
#
# Revision 1.1  2004/01/02 18:50:01  jimmyo
# Renamed occurrances of lrrd -> munin
#
# Revision 1.1.1.1  2004/01/02 15:18:07  jimmyo
# Import of LRRD CVS tree after renaming to Munin
#
# Revision 1.3  2003/12/06 16:24:34  jimmyo
# Plugin interrupts: context switch graphing added by Mike Fedyk
