Munin

MySQL plugins configuration

vi /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node

[mysql*]
user root
env.mysqlopts --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
env.mysqluser debian-sys-maint
env.mysqlconnection DBI:mysql:mysql;mysql_read_default_file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf

• If this user doesn't exist:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on *.* TO 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'exampleeeee' WITH GRANT OPTION;

• If this user exist but we have to update the password:

UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('exampleeeee') WHERE User='debian-sys-maint';

• Edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf:

# Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH!
[client]
host     = localhost
user     = debian-sys-maint
password = exampleeeee
socket   = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysql_upgrade]
host     = localhost
user     = debian-sys-maint
password = exampleeeee
socket   = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
basedir  = /usr

• You have to symlink plugins you want to be graphed:

ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/mysql_ /etc/munin/plugins/mysql_bin_relay_log
ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/mysql_ /etc/munin/plugins/mysql_commands

• Debian / Ubuntu requirements:

aptitude update
aptitude install make gcc libcache-{perl,cache-perl} libmysqlclient-dev liblz-dev zlib1g-dev libgz-devel liblz-dev 

cpan Module::Pluggable
cpan DBI

cpan DBD::mysql

• If you get an error, you could enventually force install:

$ cpan
force install DBD::mysql

• I got this issue during the installation, here's the resolution:

DBI connect('mysql;mysql_connect_timeout=5','root',...) failed: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) at ./mysql_replication line 903

You have replace in this file /usr/share/munin/plugins/mysql_ :

    my %section_map = (
[[User:Anthoanthop|Anthoanthop]] ([[User talk:Anthoanthop|talk]]) 17:14, 5 May 2015 (CEST)
        'BACKGROUND THREAD'        => \&skip,
    );

With:

    my %section_map = (
~~~~
        'BACKGROUND THREAD'        => \&skip,
        'INDIVIDUAL BUFFER POOL INFO'   => \&skip, 
    );
