Values in config are ignored

[benh57]

I'm running collectd 5.4.1 on CentOS 6.5, running with the CentOS scl python27 embedded into collectd (since this plugin requires python 2.7 due to its use of subprocess.check_output)

I noticed any values i set in the config are ignored

14:13:53 root@sm-sensu /usr/lib/collectd/plugins/ceph-git/plugins $ cat /etc/collectd.d/ceph_latency.conf <LoadPlugin "python"> Globals true Interval 10 Debug True

<Plugin "python"> ModulePath "/usr/lib/collectd/plugins/ceph-git/plugins"

Import "ceph_latency_plugin"

<Module "ceph_latency_plugin">
            Verbose "true"
            Cluster ceph
            Interval 10
            TestPool test
</Module>

I believe this is because the register_read happens before the configure_callback is called.

config key: Cluster - ceph config key: Interval - 10 config key: TestPool - test Stopping collectd: [ OK ] Starting collectd: latency plugin registering with interval: 60.0

To fix this, i moved the register_read inside the callback, and now it works: def configure_callback(conf): """Received configuration information""" plugin.config_callback(conf) collectd.error("latency plugin registering with interval: %s" % plugin.interval) collectd.register_read(read_callback, plugin.interval)

Stopping collectd: [ OK ] Starting collectd: config key: Verbose - true config key: Cluster - ceph config key: Interval - 10.0 config key: TestPool - test latency plugin registering with interval: 10.0

Thanks for this. I can't check this right now, but will in a couple days. Want to send a pull request in the meantime? I'm happy to have a look.

Can you give a bit more details on the subprocess.check_output and python 2.7 requirement? I've been using it with python 3.4.

Thanks!

What's the status on this? We are seeing the same issue! I could trace it to the configure_callback function in base.py and could verify that the Interval value makes it there. Still, I am getting values into InfluxDB in other intervals than the 10s I configured.
