[collectd] Collectd client data not written to Collectd Server

[xflou]

Hello,

I have two Ubuntu hosts. One acts as the collected Server and the other as
a collectd client.

The configuration seems to be fine on both. The collectd client traffic
seems to be received at the collectd Server, but the data is not written to
the "/var/lib/collected/rdd" directory. The Tcpdump below confirms this.

On the collectd client side,  the tcp dump also indicates that the data is
being sent to the collectd server on the correct IP and port.

What I was expecting, is that the collected client data  received on the
collected server would be written to the
"/var/lib/collectd/rdd/clientMachineName" directory as a separate entry
from the "/var/lib/collectd/rdd/serverMachinename" directory.

Any ideas as to why this is not working as expected, would be appreciated.


Below are the /etc/collectd/collectd.conf file entries for the collectd
server and collectd client:
