[collectd] problem with importing collectd python module

[Pawel Akonom]

Hi,


I am trying to run collectd python module for mongoDB monitoring: https://github.com/sebest/collectd-mongodb


The first line of mongodb.py plugin is:


"import collectd" and the plugin can't load it. When I run python shell and try to import collectd manually I get:


[root at cisco_aci_dev184 ~]# python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Feb 22 2013, 00:00:18)
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import collectd
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named collectd


In collectd documentation, in example section, "import collectd" is also sued:

https://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd-python.5.shtml#examples


I am using CentOS 6.x and collectd 5.5 from  http://dl.marmotte.net/rpms/redhat/el6/x86_64/collectd-5.5.0-1.el6


List of installed collectd rpms is:


[root at cisco_aci_dev184 ~]# rpm -qa | grep collectd
collectd-5.5.0-1.el6.x86_64
collectd-java-5.5.0-1.el6.x86_64
collectd-postgresql-5.5.0-1.el6.x86_64
collectd-disk-5.5.0-1.el6.x86_64
collectd-python-5.5.0-1.el6.x86_64
libcollectdclient-5.5.0-1.el6.x86_6


Where can I find colletd python library? Is it somewhere in the source code or in some external project in github? Package collectd-python is providing only python.so library:


[root at cisco_aci_dev184 ~]# rpm -ql collectd-python
/usr/lib64/collectd/python.so
/usr/share/man/man5/collectd-python.5.gz


Br,

Pawel
