I think I need to tell munin where my postfix logs are

Try'n read some documentation
http://munin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
I've read a lot of it but:

"0 Results for postfix"

Then check out /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node
I've successfully configured apache and nginx in that file but munin
postfix config is extremely hard to find online.

Instead of searching online, use the built-in pod based format, e.g.:

$ munindoc postfix_mailstats


NAME
postfix_mailstats - Plugin to monitor the number of mails delivered and rejected by postfix

CONFIGURATION
Configuration parameters for /etc/munin/postfix_mailstats, if you need to override the defaults below:

        [postfix_mailstats]
         env.logdir  - Which logfile to use
         env.logfile - What file to read in logdir

   DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
        [postfix_mailstats]
         env.logdir  /var/log
         env.logfile mail.log



Munin plugins are controlled by the files in /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/. Based on the above, either create a section for postfix_mailstats in the file "munin-node" or create a new one (they will all be parsed), detailing the location of your mail log.

Explicitly, if your mail log is /var/log/mail/current, add this:
[postfix_mailstats]
env.logdir  /var/log/mail
env.logfile current

You might also need to set group permissions to be able to read the log file.
