I've installed the HMIB plugin and would like to use it to monitor mariadb database performance, memory usage, etc. How do I make these "graph templates" available to a host?
For example, if I go to Management -> Devices, then select my host, at the bottom there is "Add Graph Template" but nothing related to databases appears there. This is a fedora37 server.
I see "Cacti Stats" and "Synology" (which is not at all useful), but nothing related to mariadb or monitoring, for that matter. What am I missing?
Where are the usage instructions beyond just installing it? And do I need to use the front-end to add every single service? Isn't there a way to configure this from the command-line so it's much faster?

You have to import template for mysql. Cacti is distributed with only a few basic templates
Let the Cacti grow!

Re: How to make graph templates available?
I just made a recent update to HMIB and introduced a Data Query package that includes a Data Query to monitor individual services on a host. You need first import that package, the add the Data Query to each Device that you want to Graph. Then, create the individual graphs of services that you want to monitor. There is presently no automation in the HMIB plugin for those graphs as it would simply be too many. But you can use Cacti's automation to build an Graph Automation Template to do such things. See the image below of the Data Query that you need to add.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
