+
+# nscd (name server caching daemon) statistics
+#
+# Tested with nscd 2.13 on Debian 7.8
+#
+# This plugin is capable to show:
+# - per-database (passwd, group, hosts, services):
+#     - Suggested size
+#     - Cache hit rate
+#     - Number of currently cached values
+#     - Number of max cached values
+#
+# Required permissions:
+# - root permissions to run "nscd -g"
+#
+# OS: *NIX
+#
+# Author: Oliver Ladner <waste@lugh.ch>
+#
+# Configuration:
+# - set env.nscd_cfg to nscd.conf path if necessary
+# - Configure to run as root in /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node
+#   [nscd_*]
+#    user root
+#
+# Notes:
+#
+# A low cache hit rate in combination with a shared cache configuration is
+# normal, as clients can search the cache directly without asking the nscd
+# daemon first. See http://goo.gl/dkwzDH
