Sounds almost like a firewall rule blocking the port, that behaviour sounds 
familiar. Do you have iptables running on the receiver host?

Hi guys,

I seldom ever resort to asking on mailing lists for help but I've reached the 
end of my rope and, unfortunately, the 'Troubleshooting' section on the wiki.

Simply put I have a collectd instance setup to listen for data from another 
collectd instance and writes the data into graphite.  I can verify with 
'netstat -lnp' that collectd is listening on the appropriate interface, I see 
data coming into the host with `tpcdump` from my data source.  Data from the 
'receiver' collectd is getting into graphite (and rrd when i enable that 
plugin), but it never does anything with the remote metrics.  I see in strace 
that collectd is binding to the port, but never see any read calls when a 
packet comes in.

Any advice or guidance on things to explore would be greatly, greatly 
appreciated.  I really really want to use collectd to work for this application 
and this is my last hope for getting it working.

Best,
Craig Calef
