I blogged about the munin monitoring system a while ago.
The fact the Munin team did quite a remarkable job in cleaning up the 1.2 code for the 1.4 release enabled me to add a native SSH transport for Munin, and made be able to get rid of all SSH tunnels.

NTP is very handy for server clock synchronisation, but it can be cumbersome to deploy.
Sometimes you just need to do a one-shot clock synchronisation, so you use
the standard date command. But there isn't a flag to easily copy a
setting to another.
Quite easy :
# date `ssh remoteuser@remotehost date +%m%d%H%M%Y.%S`
It's also very easy[1] :
# ssh root@remotehost date `date +%m%d%H%M%Y.%S`
[1] Yes, I do know that logging remotely as root is a security pitfall...

Munin is a nice monitoring system. Simple but quite effective. It's main selling point is the UNIX-esque simplicity of the architecture. You can just create a new plugin in a matter of minutes to monitor whatever you can imagine.
