Please note, you have to configure plugin to run as root:

[vebc*] user root

at /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/ somewhere.

Extended Version for old system using user_beancounter.

Put it with the munin plugins and make a link for every graph which should be produced named like:

vebc_VALUENAME1_VALUENAME2_..._VEID

e.g.: vebc_numflock_numpty_numsiginfo_101

This is not too performant but should do and the graphs are much more readable then the first solution.
