Munin dynamic graph zoom (dynazoom) not working (Nginx, PHP-FPM)

Question

Debian 7.5 Nginx/1.6.0 PHP 5.6.0RC2 (fpm-fcgi) (built: Jul 11 2014 08:17:52) Munin v2.0.21-2

I been searching all over the net for a few days for answers to my problem but it seems like no one knows what to do about it. I got Munin up and running but Munin dynamic graph zoom (dynazoom) is not working it seems like a problem with cgi I have tested Munin with lighttpd and apache using spawnfcgi and everything works fine but not with php5-fpm. The graphs on the zoom screen show up but not with php5-fpm it just shows a a broken image link just like this image http://serversupportforum.de/forum/attachments/monitoring/4901d1373968950-munin-dynazoom-funktioniert-nicht-1592281191.png "Munin dynamic graph zoom (dynazoom)"

A lot of people nowadays are using Nginx with php-fpm so i think this will be a lot of help to tons of people. For example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18645812/munin-dynamic-graph-zoom-dynazoom-not-working-centos6-nginx-php-fpm

The Munin config file:

# defaulted to the values you see here.

# It is single threaded *by design* now.
#
graph_strategy cron

# munin-cgi-graph is invoked by the web server up to very many times at the
# same time.  This is not optimal since it results in high CPU and memory
# consumption to the degree that the system can thrash.  Again the default is
# 6.  Most likely the optimal number for max_cgi_graph_jobs is the same as
# max_graph_jobs.
#
#munin_cgi_graph_jobs 6

# If the automatic CGI url is wrong for your system override it here:
#
#cgiurl_graph /munin-cgi/munin-cgi-graph

# max_size_x and max_size_y are the max size of images in pixel.
# Default is 4000. Do not make it too large otherwise RRD might use all
# RAM to generate the images.
# 
max_size_x 4000
max_size_y 4000

# HTML files are normally generated by munin-html, no matter if the
# files are used or not. You can change this to on-demand generation
# by following the instructions in http://munin-monitoring.org/wiki/CgiHowto2
# 
# Notes: 
# - moving to CGI for HTML means you cannot have graph generated by cron.
# - cgi html has some bugs, mostly you still have to launch munin-html by hand
# 
html_strategy cron

# munin-update runs in parallel.
#
# The default max number of processes is 16, and is probably ok for you.
#
# If set too high, it might hit some process/ram/filedesc limits.
# If set too low, munin-update might take more than 5 min.
#
# If you want munin-update to not be parallel set it to 0.
#
max_processes 16

# RRD updates are per default, performed directly on the rrd files.
# To reduce IO and enable the use of the rrdcached, uncomment it and set it to
# the location of the socket that rrdcached uses.

## ...and on a side note, I want them listen in another order (default is

#
# # Since [foo.com] would be interpreted as a host in the domain "com", we

Answer 1

You have wrong fastcgi_pass parameter, it should pass requests to spawn-fcgi just as munin's wiki says not to php-fpm.

For Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get install spawn-fcgi
spawn-fcgi -s /var/run/munin/fcgi-graph.sock -U www-data -u www-data -g www-data /usr/lib/munin/cgi/munin-cgi-graph

And dont forget to fix nginx location and restart it afterwards:

    location ^~ /munin-cgi/munin-cgi-graph/ {
        access_log off;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(/munin-cgi/munin-cgi-graph)(.*);
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/munin/fcgi-graph.sock;
        include fastcgi_params;
}
