This is because a Perl cache package is needed. In the repositories there are two of those packages. Install them both: ## Execute as root apt-get install libcache-{perl,cache-perl} Now generate the munin plugin config again: ## Execute as root munin-node-configure --suggest --shell | sh And restart the munin-node service: ## Execute as root /etc/init.d/munin-node restart The graphs should now appear. If not, you might need to manually symlink the munin mysql plugins from `/usr/share/munin/plugins/` to `/etc/munin/plugins/`. If you need to define another user for MySQL, configure `/etc/munin/plugin- conf.d/munin-node` with the following settings: [mysql*] user root env.mysqluser monitoring env.mysqlpassword MyOwnSuperSecretPassword Altough on Ubuntu and Debian this should run via the debian maintenance user.
