[collectd] OS X 10.5.8 network plugin only sends data when terminated

[Tim Henrich]

I've got collectd working correctly from one CentOS system to another CentOS
server using the network, load, and perl plugin (on the server).

I set up collectd on OS X 10.5.8 with the same configuration, started
collectd with -f, and watch the logs grab the load, and see:

[2009-10-01 12:14:24] plugin_read_thread: Handling `load'.
[2009-10-01 12:14:24] plugin_dispatch_values: time = 1254413664; interval =
60; host = mbp; plugin = load; plugin_instance = ; type = load;
type_instance = ;
[2009-10-01 12:14:24] uc_update: mbp/load/load: ds[0] = 0.750977
[2009-10-01 12:14:24] uc_update: mbp/load/load: ds[1] = 0.653320
[2009-10-01 12:14:24] uc_update: mbp/load/load: ds[2] = 0.632812
[2009-10-01 12:14:24] plugin: plugin_write: Writing values via network.
[2009-10-01 12:14:24] plugin_read_thread: Effective interval of the load
plugin is 60.000000000.
[2009-10-01 12:14:24] plugin_read_thread: Next read of the load plugin at
1254413724.828096000.

On the server, I see the logs flying by from the CentOS client sending data,
but never see anything from the OS X client.

After doing Control + C:

^C[2009-10-01 12:14:44] return (0);
[2009-10-01 12:14:44] Exiting normally.
[2009-10-01 12:14:44] collectd: Stopping 5 read threads.
[2009-10-01 12:14:44] plugin: stop_read_threads: Signalling `read_cond'
[2009-10-01 12:14:44] network plugin: flush_buffer: send_buffer_fill = 128
[2009-10-01 12:14:44] network plugin: network_send_buffer: buffer_len = 128
[2009-10-01 12:14:44] network plugin: sockent_destroy (se = 0x0);

At this point I see the server getting the values, but only after the client
has been terminated.

Both client and server have been configured with --enable-debug, but this is
as much information as I get.

The only other clues are in /var/log/system.log on the client which says:

Oct  1 12:16:13 mbp collectd[4905]: Libgcrypt warning: missing
initialization - please fix the application

However, I've removed the encryption parameters from the network plugin and
the outcome is still the same.

Any thoughts?
