Are there any error messages in the log? Does powerdns log any useful messages? Does collectd log the message "Initialization complete, entering read-loop" (in case you're using log-level "info" or higher)? What does your configuration look like? Could you please try to find out what collectd is doing, e.g. using strace or a debugger (install collectd-dbg in that case)? I do not use the "powerdns" plugin myself and I do not currently have the time for in-depth debugging of this issue. With this E-mail, I've forwarded the issue to the upstream mailinglist and Cc'ed the original author of the plugin. Please keep <colle...@verplant.org> and <535...@bugs.debian.org> Cc'ed when replying to this E-mail.
