Since this was on Fedora, I guess the problems was with selinux, not 
apparmour :-)

Making a new selinux profile may not be just trivial, or at least not to 
get such a profile upstream, since the plugins peeks into a lot of other 
subsystems' (applications') profiles, and get prohibited by their rules. 
Perhaps another approach would be to ask fedora maintainers to add munin 
support to their applications' profile'
