Oh, I didn't know about this plugin yet … sounds quite interesting. Would you (or somebody else) mind adding a page to the wiki and add it to <http://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/List_of_front-ends> ;-) > It uses the perl > plugin, so I added the following to my config file: > > LoadPlugin perl > <Plugin "perl"> > IncludeDir "/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1" > BaseName "Collectd::Plugins" > LoadPlugin "Graphite" > <Plugin "Graphite"> > Buffer "256000" > Prefix "servers" > Host "localhost" > Port "2003" > </Plugin> > </Plugin> > > I know that I didn't set the Global property to "true", but from what > I understand, that's not necessary in the 5.0 version of collectd. collectd 5.0 automatically sets that flag for some plugins (those, that are known to benefit from that). So, the flag is required (when using plugins that are [in parts] written in C) but it does not have to be set explicitly. > Then, when I try to start collectd, I get the following errors: > > [2011-07-05 20:42:31] plugin_load_file: The global flag is not > supported, libtool 2 is required for this. This is a result of automatically adding the global flag for the perl plugin (NB: we should check for libtool 2 as well, when automatically setting that flag). I suggest to recompile collectd with libtool 2 (which is available since Ubuntu Lucid) even though that might not be necessary in your case … but better be sure and safe for the future ;-) > [2011-07-05 20:42:31] perl: Initializing Perl interpreter... > Can't locate Collectd.pm in @INC (@INC contains: > /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 > /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 > /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .). > BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. > Here's the contents of my "/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1" directory: > > ./Collectd > ./Collectd/Plugins > ./Collectd/Plugins/Graphite.pm > > These files should be readable by the collectd daemon because it is > running as root. > > So it appears to me that collectd can't find Collectd.pm in > /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1, but that should be ok since a Collectd > folder is in there, right? Nope, you need Collectd.pm as well … that's part of the perl plugin (implemented in plain Perl). It should have been installed during 'make install' as well. The default is ${prefix}/share/perl/<perl_version/ (${prefix} defaults to /opt/collectd/). Either copy Collectd.pm to any of the directories in @INC (see above) or add the path to Collectd.pm to the "IncludeDir" config option. > Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

As a second step, I recommend to recompile with libtool2 -- else, some third-party perl modules cannot be used with the perl plugin.
