Dear collected developers and users, when I use the ping plugin configuration in the bottom of the e-mail I get some unexpected behaviour.
1) In syslog I get Nov 27 14:43:15 ibsen collectd[13914]: ping plugin: ping_host_add (11.255.3.1) failed: getaddrinfo: Address family for hostname not supported Nov 27 14:43:15 ibsen collectd[13914]: ping plugin: ping_host_add (11.254.3.1) failed: getaddrinfo: Address family for hostname not supported Nov 27 14:43:15 ibsen collectd[13914]: ping plugin: ping_host_add (11.255.1.1) failed: getaddrinfo: Address family for hostname not supported Nov 27 14:43:15 ibsen collectd[13914]: ping plugin: ping_host_add (11.254.1.1) failed: getaddrinfo: Address family for hostname not supported Nov 27 14:43:15 ibsen collectd[13914]: ping plugin: ping_host_add (11.255.3.1) failed: getaddrinfo: Address family for hostname not supported Nov 27 14:43:15 ibsen collectd[13914]: ping plugin: ping_host_add (11.254.3.1) failed: getaddrinfo: Address family for hostname not supported Nov 27 14:43:15 ibsen collectd[13914]: ping plugin: ping_host_add (11.255.1.1) failed: getaddrinfo: Address family for hostname not supported Nov 27 14:43:15 ibsen collectd[13914]: ping plugin: ping_host_add (11.254.1.1) failed: getaddrinfo: Address family for hostname not supported No data gets logged for IPv4 hosts. The IPv6 hosts get logged and no error-messages. If I remove the IPv6 hosts I get no error messages in syslog and data for al hosts get logged. 2) In the output data there seems to be no separation between different source_addresses. I expected to get one metric for each source-destination combination. Is this not to be expected? Is there a way of achieving it? I would very much appreciate your input to this. Thank you. ping.conf contents: <Plugin ping> SourceAddress "11.255.2.1" Host "11.254.1.1" Host "11.255.1.1" Host "11.254.3.1" Host "11.255.3.1" </Plugin> <Plugin ping> SourceAddress "11.254.2.1" Host "11.254.1.1" Host "11.255.1.1" Host "11.254.3.1" Host "11.255.3.1" </Plugin> <Plugin ping> SourceAddress "fd00:cafe:0:fe02::1" Host "fd00:cafe:0:fe01::1" Host "fd00:cafe:0:ff01::1" Host "fd00:cafe:0:fe03::1" Host "fd00:cafe:0:ff03::1" </Plugin> <Plugin ping> SourceAddress "fd00:cafe:0:ff02::1" Host "fd00:cafe:0:fe01::1" Host "fd00:cafe:0:ff01::1" Host "fd00:cafe:0:fe03::1" Host "fd00:cafe:0:ff03::1" </Plugin> System information: root@ibsen:~/tmp# aptitude show collectd Package: collectd State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 4.10.1-2.1ubuntu7 Priority: optional Section: universe/utils Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <[email protected]> Architecture: amd64 Uncompressed Size: 128 k Depends: collectd-core, libc6 (>= 2.4), librrd4 (>= 1.3.0) Recommends: libc6 (>= 2.7), libcurl3-gnutls (>= 7.16.2-1), libdbi1 (>= 0.8.4), libesmtp6, libgcrypt11 (>= 1.4.5), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libmemcached6 (>= 0.44), libmysqlclient18 (>= 5.5.13-1), libnotify4 (>= 0.7.0), libopenipmi0, liboping0 (>= 0.3.3), libpcap0.8 (>= 0.9.8), libperl5.14 (>= 5.14.2), libpq5 (>= 8.4~), libpython2.7 (>= 2.7), librrd4 (>= 1.4~rc2), libsensors4 (>= 1:3.0.0), libsnmp15 (>= 5.4.3~dfsg), libtokyotyrant3, libupsclient1 (>= 2.4.1), libvirt0 (>= 0.3.2), libxml2 (>= 2.7.4), libyajl1 (>= 1.0.5) Conflicts: collectd Description: statistics collection and monitoring daemon collectd is a small daemon which collects system information periodically and provides mechanisms to monitor and store the values in a variety of ways. Since the daemon doesn't need to startup every time it wants to update the values it's very fast and easy on the system. Also, the statistics are very fine grained since the files are updated every 10 seconds by default. The collected information can be used to find current performance bottlenecks (performance analysis) and predict future system load (capacity planning). This package provides a full installation of the daemon, including the configuration. For the core system, see the "collectd-core" package, which allows sites to, e.g., provide customizations (like a custom default configuration) on top of it without having to modify the "collectd" package.
