[collectd] multiple Nginx server monitoring issue

[SCOTT, Keith (NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND)]

I know what the problem is now. The "hostname" that is being put into my
influxdb when the nginx stats are being stored is that of the collectd
server. I need to override the hostname that is stored doing something
like the following

<Plugin nginx>
         host "Server-A"
         URL "http://Nginx_Server_A:10987/nginx_status"
</Plugin>

<Plugin nginx>
         host "Server-B"
         URL "http://Nginx_Server_B:10987/nginx_status"
</Plugin>

But when I try this I see the following...

Nov 10 23:28:32 monitoring.ourserver.com collectd[32178]: plugin_load:
plugin "memory" successfully loaded.
Nov 10 23:28:32 monitoring.ourserver.com collectd[32178]: plugin_load:
plugin "network" successfully loaded.
Nov 10 23:28:32 monitoring.ourserver.com collectd[32178]: plugin_load:
plugin "nginx" successfully loaded.
Nov 10 23:28:32 monitoring.ourserver.com collectd[32178]: plugin_load:
plugin "notify_email" successfully loaded.
Nov 10 23:28:32 monitoring.ourserver.com collectd[32178]: Plugin `nginx'
did not register for value `host'.
Nov 10 23:28:32 monitoring.ourserver.com collectd[32178]: Plugin `nginx'
did not register for value `host'.
Nov 10 23:28:32 monitoring.ourserver.com collectd[32178]: plugin_load:
plugin "threshold" successfully loaded.
Nov 10 23:28:32 monitoring.ourserver.com collectd[32178]: Systemd
detected, trying to signal readyness.
Nov 10 23:28:32 monitoring.ourserver.com systemd[1]: Started Collectd
statistics daemon.
-- Subject: Unit collectd.service has finished start-up

Am I making any sense ? and can anyone help me ?
