<br>
I apologize for a version of this email that was prematurely sent by mistake.<br>
<br>
I am trying to set up metric collection and storage with collectd and<br>
hawkular-services. As a start I just want to monitor the local host.<br>
So I have ptrans, a component of hawkular-services that can listen to<br>
the collectd prototol, running. It listens for collectd on UDP 25826.<br>
<br>
I can see a list of collectd metrics with "collectdctl listval", and I<br>
am getting meaningful results from these values with "collectdctl<br>
getval". But I am getting no metrics in hawkular-services. And ptrans<br>
does not log any connection from collectd.<br>
<br>
Of course it is possible that ptrans simply has no logging of such<br>
connections and the problem is elsewhere. But I need to troubleshoot<br>
this, and so I'd like to find out what collectd actually sends with<br>
the network plugin. How can I do this? Or is this not possible?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
