1/ check the permissions of your /var/lib/collectd/rrd (and /var/lib/collectd)<br>
2/ collectd sends data with UDP protocol. So tcpdump...<br>
<br>
3/ enable the unix socket on your collectd (for example /var/run/collectd/collectd-<u></u>unixsock)<br>
echo "listval" | socat - /var/run/collectd/collectd-<u></u>unixsock<br>
Empty on the agent ? -> find out why the agent does not collectd...<br>
No data from the agent on the server ? -> find out why the server does not get the data from the agent<br>
everything OK on the socket ? -> find out why you cannot write on the disk (rrdtool/rrdcached problem ?)<br>
<br>
apt-get install socat (if not installed yet)<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm new here, but I'm not new with Collectd. Using it for quite a some time<br>
on CentOS, and must say didn't have any major issues yet.<br>
<br>
But, now I need it on Ubuntu LTS. Trying to install just two machines with<br>
default plugins, in local network (on Rackspace) where, using network<br>
plugin, one is going to be client and another one is going to be server.<br>
<br>
So there's no firewalls, security, anything in between, and to avoid for<br>
this PoC any permissions issue everything is running as root user.<br>
<br>
So my problem is that everything works fine locally, but data is not<br>
shipped from client to server. I went up to tcpdump and checking traffic<br>
from one machine to other, and I see that it's sending data regularly, it's<br>
not exceeding window size, etc, but nothing is written in<br>
/var/lib/collectd/rrd/ from client machine on server machine.<br>
<br>
I tested this with 4.10 (package from precise repo), 5.2 and 5.3 but lost<br>
any more idea how to try to narrow this down. Was also trying simple stuff<br>
like enabling just one simple plugin but (as I didn't built it, and<br>
obviously it's not built with with debug enabled) neither info or notice<br>
log levels are not giving me anything from Collectd neither on client or<br>
server.<br>
<br>
Any advice will be appreciated (as in this particular moment these two<br>
machines are not best candidates to set build environment on them, but<br>
that's also last resort).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Dejan<br>
