Hello,
I'm running collectd-5.8.0 on a Linux server. I recently added an
Exec plugin which invokes a small python script that I wrote to
capture weather data. If I run the script manually, it behaves as
expected, generating the following output over time:
$ /etc/collectd.d/get_weather.py
PUTVAL "hal/exec-weather/temperature-weather_level" interval=90 N:67.1
PUTVAL "hal/exec-weather/temperature-weather_level" interval=90 N:67.1
PUTVAL "hal/exec-weather/temperature-weather_level" interval=90 N:67.6
However, collectd never seems to run the plugin at all, and also isn't
generating any errors. I'm logging everything from collectd into its
own dedicated log:
<Plugin logfile>
LogLevel info
File "/var/log/collectd.log"
Timestamp true
PrintSeverity true
</Plugin>
I have the following configured for the exec plugin:
<Plugin exec>
Exec "netllama" "/etc/collectd.d/get_weather.py"
</Plugin>
When I (re)start collectd, I see the following in /var/log/collectd.log:
[2018-08-05 09:07:22] [info] plugin_load: plugin "exec" successfully loaded.
But no other messages related to the plugin, and the script itself is
not running. At this point, I'm at a loss how to debug further when
nothing is being logged. Even if something was failing, shouldn't it
log something somewhere?
Thanks for any suggestions.
