<div>One thing I just noticed when looking at the python module is the first thing it tries to do is this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>import collectd</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And when I try and do that manually I get this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>>>> import collectd</div>
<div>Traceback (most recent call last):</div>
<div> File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module></div>
<div>ImportError: No module named collectd</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is that a module that needs to be installed on my system or is that something that is “passed down” when this python module is loaded?</div>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m having some problems trying to collect stats from mongo using collectd. I am trying to use this python plugin : <a href="https://github.com/sebest/collectd-mongodb">https://github.com/sebest/collectd-mongodb</a>. I have it configured in collectd
and it is actually sending mongo related metrics however they don’t seem to be correct based on some manual correlation that I’ve done. I also get this error when starting up collectd with this plugin enabled:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>[root@mongo6 ~]# /etc/init.d/collectd restart</div>
<div>Stopping collectd: [ OK ]</div>
<div>Starting collectd: Parse error in file `/etc/collectd.d/mongodb.py', line 1302 near `<newline>': syntax error, unexpected EOL</div>
<div>yyparse returned error #1</div>
<div>configfile: Cannot read file `/etc/collectd.d/mongodb.py'.</div>
<div>Parse error in file `/etc/collectd.d/mongodb.pyc', line 1319 near `>': syntax error, unexpected CLOSEBRAC</div>
<div>yyparse returned error #1</div>
<div>configfile: Cannot read file `/etc/collectd.d/mongodb.pyc'.</div>
<div>.():():.=.=.=.=[,].=.=.=.=.=.=(,,,,=)::='%-%'%(.,):=(.)=.()[ OK ]=.=[,].()():=(=.,=.,=)=[.[]]..:.(.,.)=.('')=['']=()</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is the snipet from my collectd.conf file where I enable the plugin:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><Plugin python></div>
<div> ModulePath "/etc/collectd.d/"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> Import "mongodb"</div>
<div> <Module mongodb></div>
<div> Host "127.0.0.1"</div>
<div> Port 26019</div>
<div> Database "i19" "local"</div>
<div> </Module></div>
<div></Plugin></div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone have any idea what might be causing that error? I tried submitting a bug report directly on the github page for the project but haven’t gotten any response in a couple of weeks. I was about to give up on this when I saw a recent posting to
this mailing list saying that someone was able to get this plugin working.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
