[collectd] running on mips

[bill]

have you tried the csv output saving to local disk?

also maybe a tcpdump from the MIPS box to see if the packets are leaving?

running crypto on the network transmission?

My collectd.conf has BaseDir, PIDFile, PluginDir and TypesDB uncommented and pointing to the appropriate location (based on where I unzipped/extracted). I use /varbackup only because it’s a safe partition for me to play with on the target, with plenty of space.
