Hello everybody, I'm just setting up collectd, what's working fine.
I just have a problem with notifications. I want to monitor the load
(just for starting with notifications), the "load" plugin is loaded and
collecting data. Then I added the "logfile" plugin, to have a plugin to
receive notifications. This also works, a log file is created where
collectd messages go to.
The only problem is, that I can't figure out, how to setup notifications
properly. This is my config file:
##############################################################################
# Global #
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Global settings for the daemon.
#
##############################################################################
#Hostname "localhost"
#FQDNLookup true
#BaseDir "/var/lib/collectd"

</Plugin>
</Plugin>
I'm expecting to get something written in the logfile, if one of the
three loads goes above 1, but nothing happens.
Hope someone can help me here.
Greetings
Christian
