You must have compiled collectd with libgcrypt support, otherwise signing or encryption will not work. Have a look at the source code for the network plugin (https://github.com/collectd/collectd/blob/master/src/network.c). You will see references to "#if HAVE_LIBGCRYPT". Otherwise, the "SecurityLevel" options are ignored, as stated here: https://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd.conf.5.shtml#plugin_network When you compile collectd, look for the following line: libgcrypt . . . . . . yes If not, install the libgcrypt-devel package (if on CentOS) and recompile. > > On the same matter, Riemann plugin should support SSL as Riemann itself > supports it too - http://riemann.io/api/riemann.transport.tcp.html - > via the ssl-handler > What's the question here? > Thanks > > -- > Unix _IS_ user friendly, it's just selective about who its friends are. > > _______________________________________________ collectd mailing list > [email protected] http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd _______________________________________________ collectd mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.verplant.org/listinfo/collectd
