<p>Hi, We are having trouble getting collectd client / server networking working. We think out client / server can talk to each other but for some reason the data cpu/syslog/interface data from the client isn't getting logged into our influxdb and we're not
sure why.<br>
</p>
<p>Below is our cut down config from both client & server.<br>
</p>
<p>"Client_VM_A" to connect to {"Server_VM_A" > InfluxDB}<br>
<br>
==========================================</p>
<p>#Hostname "the_server"<br>
LoadPlugin network<br>
LoadPlugin nginx<br>
#LoadPlugin syslog #Not sure if we need this<br>
<br>
<Plugin network><br>
Server "127.0.0.1" "26000" #This is out InfluxDB Server<br>
Listen "192.168.1.10"<br>
</Plugin><br>
<br>
<Plugin "nginx"><br>
URL <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://192.168.1.150/nginx_status">"http://192.168.1.150/nginx_status"</a><br>
</Plugin><br>
</p>
<p>==========================================</p>
<p>#Hostname "the_client"<br>
#FQDNLookup true<br>
<br>
LoadPlugin syslog<br>
LoadPlugin cpu<br>
LoadPlugin interface<br>
LoadPlugin load<br>
LoadPlugin memory<br>
LoadPlugin network<br>
<br>
<Plugin network><br>
Server "192.168.1.10"<br>
</Plugin><br>
</p>
==========================================<br>
<br>
I left the nginx part in just so that I can see data is going into influxdb, and I can see the vaules via the Influx DB Admin Interface and also via Grafana.
<br>
collectd starts without error on our client and server machines and we have run the following tcpdump command to see data arriving at the server.<br>
<code> </code><code>tcpdump -i eth0 -p -n -s 1500 udp port 25826<br>
</code><code> netstat -lnp | grep collectd</code><br>
<br>
Our Client is running collectd 4.10.9 (Centos 6)<br>
Our Server is running collectd 5.6.0 (Centos 7)<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Keith<br>
