+Plugin to monitor ArangoDB  servers. It works with the new server statistics 
+interface of ArangoDB 1.3. Not every value seems senseful, but there are
+nice graphs generated...

+Usage:
+        - Link or copy to /etc/munin/plugins
+        - To enable extra graphs, also link to one or more of the
+        possible links (given below)
+        - Then restart munin-node
+
+Links possible:
+        arangodb_conn                   HTTP client connections
+        arangodb_time_total		Total request/queue/connection time
+        arangodb_bytes_total		Total sent/received bytes 
+
+
+Configuration:
+        - No configuration required. Just enable the admin interface of ArangoDB.
+
+Thanks to the authors of other Python munin plugins. I've used some of 
+them as inspiring example. 
+
+Possible todos:
+        - support of munin-like configuration parameters
+        - add more statistics
