[collectd] configure threshold for load plugin

[Dieter Bloms]

Hi,

I tried to configure a threshold for the load plugin to execute a little
perlscript, which set an event for me.

My config looks like this:

--snip--
myserver:~ # cat /etc/collectd.conf
Mode        "local"
Hostname    "myserver"
BaseDir     "/var/lib/collectd"
PIDFile     "/tmp/collectd.pid"
PluginDir   "/usr/lib/collectd"
TypesDB     "/usr/lib/collectd/types.db"
LoadPlugin exec
LoadPlugin load
LoadPlugin logfile
<Threshold>
  <Plugin "load">
    <Type "load">
      Instance "1m"
      WarningMax    0.50
      FailureMax    1.00
    </Type>
  </Plugin>
</Threshold>

<Plugin exec>
  NotificationExec nobody "/usr/local/bin/collectd_notification.pl"
</Plugin>
<Plugin logfile>
  LogLevel debug
  File STDOUT
</Plugin>
--snip--

I produced a load from about 2.3 and my perl script is not executed.

I can't see any useful information from debug output:

syslog says:

--snip--
[2008-03-05 11:47:57] ut_threshold_add: Adding entry `/load/load-1m'
[2008-03-05 11:47:57] exec plugin: argv[0] = collectd_notification.pl
[2008-03-05 11:47:57] type = logfile, key = LogLevel, value = debug
[2008-03-05 11:47:57] return (0)
[2008-03-05 11:47:57] type = logfile, key = File, value = STDOUT
--snip--

does anybody knows what is wrong here ?

I want to execute the perl script when a defined value (in this
testcase a load of 1) is passed.

Thank you.
