'munin'?  Or 'munin-node'?  Where does the munin server process run?
On *one* of the nodes?  That would be fine.  And then all of the
others simply run the client munin-node process.

You mean munin-node here, right?  If you have the munin server running
on one of your VPS instances then you would run munin-node on the
other nodes.

How much memory are you giving to your dom0?  If it doesn't have
enough memory then the added resource needs of munin-node might be
pushing it over the cliff into problems of memory starvation.

If you install it are you able to connect to the node and query it for
modules?  For example (using 'connect', but you might have 'telnet' or
'nc' available instead):

  $ connect localhost 4949
  # munin node at localhost
  list
  apache_accesses apache_processes apache_volume cpu cpuspeed df
  df_inode entropy forks fw_packets if_br0 if_err_br0 if_err_eth0

Do you see that munin-node is installed and with lots of plugins?

Unlikely.  Especially if running those commands by themselves don't
cause trouble.

If you suspect a plugin then I would remove all of the plugins and
then test.  If that works okay then add plugins back one by one and
test each time until you discover the problem.
