So I have just heard that collectd doesn't output all its error messages to logfiles in accessible form, since it gives feedback to the console for data collection (I would recommend putting it in /var/log/collectd.log.)
So I shut it off and ran it with: /usr/sbin/collectd -f -C /etc/collectd/collectd.conf on the console, which gave: /usr/sbin/collectd -f -C /etc/collectd/collectd.conf Initialising rabbitmq_info ,-1 Type `all' isn't defined. -1 Type `all' isn't defined. What does the "-1 Type `all' isn't defined" mean? It isn't appearing in the standard output of my PUTVAL exec script which looks very clean innocent: PUTVAL "some-fully-qualified-name/rabbitmq/more-rabbits" interval=10 N:2 PUTVAL "some-fully-qualified-name/rabbitmq/more-rabbits" interval=10 N:100 PUTVAL "some-fully-qualified-name/rabbitmq/more-rabbits" interval=10 N:500000 : : : Guidance you give on this will be appreciated! --Stuart
