Data collected from standard collectd client are not written into rrd on collectd-pw server

[samyscoub]

Hello,

i've a standard collectd client ( version 5.1.0 ) who talked to collectd-pw server ( version 5.4.0 ). Into my tcpdump i see some messages between the two hosts but nothing is written on server side concerning my collectd client.

Are these versions compatibles ?

Thanks.

Hi,

These version are compatible. Is your datas are visible when you do a collectdctl listval ?

[samyscoub]

With this command i've this result :

$# collectdctl listval
ERROR: Failed to connect to daemon at unix:/usr/var/run/collectd-unixsock: No such file or directory.

And in my tshark capture i've found this :

... 28 values for 6 plugins, 0 messages, 29 unknown

Can you help me please ?

Unknown values look like as a types.db issue.

Have a look on TypesDB part of your configuration. Be sure files exists.

Here are my existing Types files :

TypesDB     "/usr/share/collectd/types.db" "/etc/types-perfwatcher.db"

And the fields into the tshark capture :

tshark output say to us that data come to the server. To be sure that datas are handled by collectd-pw, please install unixsock plugin (http://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd-unixsock.5.shtml) then run collectdctl listval

I got this error and you solution fixed it up. But i didn't install the plugin, i uncomment it in the collectd config file.
