Package: netdata Version: 1.11.1+dfsg-5 Severity: normal Out of the box, the mysql plugin does not work on debian.
The /usr/lib/netdata/conf.d/python.d/mysql.conf debiancfg entry requires /etc/mysql/debian.cnf to be readable by user or group netdata, and the error log does not indicate this is the case, it silently fails. Preferably, though, there should be a post-install script which installs a mysql netdata user using debian-sys-maint credentials and which has limited permissions. This would be safer, as giving netdata debian-sys-maint privs to mysql is probably a bad idea. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.16-x86_64-linode118 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages netdata depends on: ii netdata-core 1.11.1+dfsg-5 ii netdata-plugins-bash 1.11.1+dfsg-5 ii netdata-web 1.11.1+dfsg-5 Versions of packages netdata recommends: ii netdata-plugins-nodejs 1.11.1+dfsg-5 ii netdata-plugins-python 1.11.1+dfsg-5 netdata suggests no packages. -- debconf information: netdata/title: netdata/send_email: YES
