I can't find instruction how to install the python.d plugins for netdata - I want to use the mysql plugin - but I have no such configuration file, and the /etc/netdata/python.d/ folder is empty.
how can I install the missing plug-ins so I can configure the mysql monitoring.
Have you checked out the documentation? This may help: https://docs.netdata.cloud/collectors/python.d.plugin/mysql/
(Edit for additional context)
All plugins (aka collectors) are installed by default—you don't need to install the MySQL collector.
To enable the collector, navigate to the /etc/netdata directory and use the edit-config script.
cd /etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config python.d/mysql.conf
Configure the collector job according to your setup, and then restart Netdata and refresh your browser once it's running again.

Hope this helps!
