+# Plugin for monitor postgres connections without DBI.
+#
+# Licenced under GPL v2.
+#
+# Usage:
+#
+#       Symlink into /etc/munin/plugins/ and add the monitored
+#       database to the filename. e.g.:
+#
+#       ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/pg__connections \
+#         /etc/munin/plugins/pg_<databasename>_connections
+#       This should, however, be given through autoconf and suggest.
+#
+#       If required, give username, password and/or Postgresql server
+#       host through environment variables.
+#
+#       You must also activate Postgresql statistics. See
+#       http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/monitoring-stats.html
+#       for how to enable this. Specifically, the following lines must
+#       exist in your postgresql.conf:
+#
+#           stats_start_collector = true
+#           stats_block_level = true
+#
+#
+# Parameters:
+#
+#       config   (required)
+#
+# Config variables:
+#
+#       dbhost     - Which database server to use. Defaults to
+#                    'localhost'.
+#       dbname     - Which database to use. Defaults to template1
+#       dbuser     - A Postgresql user account with read permission to
+#                    the given database. Defaults to
+#                    'postgres'. Anyway, Munin must be told which user
+#                    this plugin should be run as.
+#       dbpass     - The corresponding password, if
+#                    applicable. Default to undef. Remember that
+#                    pg_hba.conf must be configured accordingly.
