has something to do with an empty plugin name. using a dummy plugin name works (if you're inclined as i am to discount the plugin feature and isolate instance namespaces in filename prefixes instead of directories).

i.e. i now plan to send all my metrics like:

PUTVAL myhost.fq.dn/dummy/gauge-myname N:2299366

previously i was trying to send metrics like this, which was NOT working:

PUTVAL myhost.fq.dn//gauge-myname N:2299366

i.e., gauge is a defined type on both client and server, so that's not the problem. the problem seems to be the empty plugin name. not a big deal, just my own stumble and observation.

This sounds like the same problem I emailed about last month.  I suspect
that if you add the types you are using for exec and unixsock to types.db
on the server it should work.  The network plugin doesn't seem to pass
type information.
