Proxify SOGo access with OpenBSD
I used to run all of my services on the same OpenBSD server. Now that I switched to a virtualized environment, I’m on the way to dispatch the services on various virtual machines.

Monitor Apache SSL with Munin
On my munin-node-1.4.5p5, I can only graph HTTP activity ; no HTTPS. There is a plugin though that enables graphing both HTTP and HTTPS.

munin_node
Wait about 5 minutes and check your new shiny HTTP/SSL graphs!
