Munin keeps triggering a flood of named errors

I’m not familiar at all with munin or how it’s setup. But I did notice these named errors are triggered every time munin-cron is run

Figured out its the ntp_ munin plugin. What I am not sure about is if the symlinks are dynamically or hard coded by the install script. Can I change the ntp servers without breaking anything?

The munin logs are showing this. I have googled, and there is very little information on what is causing this or how to fix it.

Munin is very strange.

We don’t touch the symlinks in setup, but we should. I’ve just committed a change to do a better configuration of munin plugins:

Thanks for tracking down and posting the errors.

I found MiaB on github last night as was reading the commits. You do good work JoshData, thank you for MiaB. :smile:
