[collectd] collectd Digest, Vol 105, Issue 10

[Yves Mettier]

1/ check the logs
2/ if logs are not enabled, enable the logs
3/ run collectd with -f option to prevent forking. You can find some 
problems like this
4/ check if there is a core file. If not, enable it to generate a core 
(man ulimit, coreadm...)
5/ get information from the core file (gdb, dbx are debuggers. Get the 
stacktrace to know where it cores. With gdb, "bt" is the command)
6/ run Collectd with fewer plugins in order to find out if (and which) 
plugin is broken or misconfigured


Step 1 to 5 are generic to any program (step 3 is generit to any daemon)
Step 6 is specific to Collectd.

Regards
Yves
