<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">I just downloaded version 5.4 and I am having trouble seeing much output when I run collectd in an x86 mips-linux environment. I am fairly certain that configure and make ran without problems (no errors). I may have not correctly performed
the “install”. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">configure was run with --host=mipsel-linux CC=/my/toolchain/compiler/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc --with-fp-layout=intswap --exec-prefix=/varbackup --prefix=/my/homedir/temp<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">make was run with CC=/my/toolchain/compiler/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc LD=/my/toolchain/linker/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-ld all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After the build, did an install to a temporary directory on my host system (redhat x86 linux) and then tarred and gzipped everything under --prefix and copied to my target platform, then unzipped and extracted. My collectd.conf has BaseDir,
PIDFile, PluginDir and TypesDB uncommented and pointing to the appropriate location (based on where I unzipped/extracted). I use /varbackup only because it’s a safe partition for me to play with on the target, with plenty of space.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have the standard input plugins also uncommented in the .conf file (memory, cpu). Interval is set to 10. The logfile plugin is set to log info to filename “/varbackup/foo”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am logged as root on the target platform. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I run /varbackup/sbin/collectd -t -C /varbackup/etc/collectd.conf, no errors are reported.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But when I run /varbackup/sbin/collectd -C /varbackup/etc/collectd.conf -f
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> : no output on stdout<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">: in file “foo” I only see “[ <timestamp> ] Initialization complete, entering read-loop.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">with obviously the correct timestamp in square bracket - but no other logging at all of any kind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wonder if the input plugins are not quite working?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
