    Description

      We need to document how to troubleshoot following errors with munin installation.
      Next step is to check if these errors are common for most popular modern linux distros (Debian, RedHat, Ubuntu) and adjust docs accordingly.

      Message from linda.qin@10gen.com:
      1) Can not install munin-node by yum install.

      1. sudo yum install munin-node
        No package munin-node available.
        Error: Nothing to do

      ==> munin-node cannot be found in repos.
      #sudo yum install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

      Then you can use yum to install munin-node:

      #sudo yum install munin-node

      2) Got "Unknown service" error

      fetch iostat_ios

      1. Unknown service

      ==> Check if iostat_ios exists under /usr/share/munin/plugins. If so,
      create a link to /etc/munin/plugins/

      1. cd /etc/munin/plugins/
      2. sudo ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/iostat_ios iostat_ios

      3) Got "Bad Exit" error

      fetch iostat_ios

      1. Bad exit

      ==> Check /var/log/munin-node/munin-node.log
      This could be cause by the access setting for /var/lib/munin/plugin-state/munin/

      can't create /var/lib/munin/plugin-state/munin/iostat-ios.state:
      Permission denied at /etc/munin/plugins/iostat_ios line 209

      Correct it and iostat_ios should work then.
