Hi Travis, Thanks for replying! I'm using this minimalistic collectd.conf: #### Hostname "localhost" FQDNLookup true BaseDir "/opt/collectd/var/lib/collectd" PIDFile "/opt/collectd/var/run/collectd.pid" PluginDir "/opt/collectd/lib/collectd" TypesDB "/opt/collectd/share/collectd/types.db" #Interval 10 #Timeout 2 #ReadThreads 5 LoadPlugin syslog LoadPlugin logfile <Plugin logfile> LogLevel info File "/tmp/collectd.log" Timestamp true PrintSeverity true </Plugin> <Plugin syslog> LogLevel info </Plugin> LoadPlugin cpu #### I've now also compiled and installed collectd 5.1.0 by hand (configure, make, make install) on "Amazon Linux AMI" (something based on RedHat, it seems, since it has yum) and I got the exact same error message. So I'm starting to suspect I'm doing something wrong with Collectd. Also: # /opt/collectd/sbin/collectd -help ... Builtin defaults: Config file /opt/collectd/etc/collectd.conf PID file /opt/collectd/var/run/collectd.pid Plugin directory /opt/collectd/lib/collectd Data directory /opt/collectd/var/lib/collectd <== nothing shows up here or in /opt/collectd/var/log/ collectd 5.1.0, http://collectd.org/ I've tried starting Collectd like this: # /opt/collectd/sbin/collectd -C /opt/collectd/etc/collectd.conf As well we like this: # /opt/collectd/sbin/collectdmon -c /opt/collectd/etc/collectd.conf Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I install via YUM and build from source without issue. Can you post your collectd.conf from /etc/ or /opt/collectd/etc ? -Travis _______________________________________________ collectd mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd
