Whenever I run: # munin-node-configure --shell | sh I got this: # The following plugins caused errors: # mysql_: # Non-zero exit during autoconf (2) # ntp_states: # Non-zero exit during autoconf (2) # proc: # In family 'auto' but doesn't have 'autoconf' capability

Try:

/usr/lib/munin/plugins/mysql_ suggest

If in doubt, read plugin source. This one needs some extra perl packages (it will show helpful error message if dependencies are missing), configuration in /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/ (in existing or new file, no difference) and meaningful symlink name. If you want to install that plugin manually try something like this:

ln -s /usr/lib/munin/plugins/mysql_ /etc/munin/plugins/mysql_$GRAPH

Where $GRAPH is one from: (bin_relay_log, commands, connections, files_tables, innodb_bpool, innodb_bpool_act, innodb_insert_buf, innodb_io, innodb_io_pend, innodb_log, innodb_rows, innodb_semaphores, innodb_tnx, myisam_indexes, network_traffic, qcache, qcache_mem, replication, select_types, slow, sorts, table_locks, tmp_tables).

Mmm, things are starting to clarify... ;-) As you correctly said the mysql_ plugin needs the community/perl-dbi package and a Cache::Cache module (Missing dependency Cache::Cache at /usr/lib/munin/plugins/mysql_ line 729.) I'm gonna install from CPAN. Once I get this working I think I should fill a bug report to add these libraries as optdepend to munin-node package. Munin is plain awesome, thanks for the tips!

Finally, I managed to install and run mysql_ and ntp_states plugins. mysql_: needs community/perl-dbi package and "Cache::Cache" module - available through CPAN. ntp_states: needs "Net::DNS::Resolver" module, available through CPAN too. Still I'm having this error message for proc when I do: /usr/lib/munin/plugins # munin-node-configure --shell | sh # The following plugins caused errors: # proc: # In family 'auto' but doesn't have 'autoconf' capability But on the other side ~ $ sudo munin-run --servicedir /usr/lib/munin/plugins/ proc multigraph proc_cpu multigraph proc_memory multigraph proc_ctxt_switches multigraph proc_threads multigraph proc_processes multigraph proc_io I will check the plugin as soon as I get some sleep - Perl is beautiful... and cryptic at times! Note: I opened a new bug report - FS#31579 - community/perl-dbi pkg should be added to muni-node optdepends <https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31579>
