[collectd] Exec script

[Collectd User]

Fellow Collectors,

Trying my first exec plugin script, but it’s not working 100%.

I’ve added this type in /usr/share/collectd/types.db on the end point collecting the data:

ssdhealth               health:GAUGE:0:100.1, hours:GAUGE:0:4294967295

and submits data on stdout like this:

PUTVAL d1r1n1/ssdhealth-1I:1:3/ssdhealth 1452173939:100.00:2227

but after coming through my logstash and into elasticsearch, I’m missing health and hours fields in stored ES documents and wondering why only these two rather important fileds are missing…

any hints on howto debug this appreciated, TIA!
