<pre wrap="">Hi,
I'm setting up collectd for the first time and am having problems
getting data on a central server. To narrow the problem down and test I
only have the logfile, syslog, csv, memory, network and rrdtool plugins
enabled.
The central server, server1, has the following config;
<Plugin network>
<Listen "server1.domain.tld" "25826">
SecurityLevel "Sign"
AuthFile "/etc/collectd/passwd"
Interface "venet0"
</Listen>
</Plugin>
The 'clients' have the following;
<Plugin network>
<Server "server1.domain.tld" "25826">
SecurityLevel "Sign"
Username "username"
Password "password"
</Server>
</Plugin>
I have logging set to 'notice' and nothing is being reported. When I run
a tcp dump with tcpdump -i venet0 -p -s 1500 udp port 25826 I can see
that the clients are connecting;
17:06:19.760249 IP server3.domain.tld.38890 > server1.domain.tld.25826:
UDP, length 1386
17:06:30.395712 IP server2.domain.tld.49709 > server1.domain.tld.25826:
UDP, length 1379
17:15:19.755512 IP server3.domain.tld.38890 > server1.domain.tld.25826:
UDP, length 1366
17:15:30.376233 IP server2.domain.tld.49709 > server1.domain.tld.25826:
UDP, length 1377
17:24:19.753587 IP server3.domain.tld.38890 > server1.domain.tld.25826:
UDP, length 1393
17:24:30.372344 IP server2.domain.tld.49709 > server1.domain.tld.25826:
UDP, length 1382
I have the csv tool logging to /tmp/collectd to test. When I look in
/tmp/collectd on the central server there is no data for the other
servers? <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>var/lib/collectd/rrd<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i> also doesn't contain any data for the
clients.
Where is the data being stored and how can I debug this further? I am
using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Sorry new to all of this so I might be overlooking something obvious. I
have google'd to no avail.
Cheers,
Gibbs
