It takes some time to found out how the munin mysql plugin works. Here is an easy step by step how to:

1. Create a MySQL user with a password that has NOT granted privilege.
2. Edit the file: /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node
3. Put the code into the file.
4. Edit the two variables [SQL_Username] and [SQL_Password]. Note that there is NO space between -p and the password.

	[mysql*]
	  user root
	  group wheel
	  env.mysqladmin /usr/bin/mysqladmin
	  env.mysqlopts -u [SQL_Username] -p[SQL_Password]

Now have a cup of coffee, wait some time and chill … now you see nice MySQL graphs in Munin
