Make munin user show processes.[SOLVED]

Hello!

I have installed munin to monitor some stuff. But I want to use the processes-plugin to show the number of processes running on the system.

But since munin is running as it's own user, I only see 2 processes(when using ps): ps and bash.

So how can I grant access to munin user to show all running processes. I tried sudo, but I don't get the munin plugin to work with that.

If this is not possible, is it at least possible to make the nginx process be show to all users?

Thanks in advance for any help. It will be appreciated!

Found it out myself.

Just make a file in /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/ with:

[*plugin-name*]
user root

Like:

[processes]
user root
