I realize my question was dumb because I only refered to - https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Network - where there's no explanation on how to trigger/use the signing and/or encryption whereas in your link (the manpage), everything is mentioned there. Sorry again, now I know how to trigger what I need. Indeed, my collectd network plugin is compiled with libgrypt as confirmed by ldd so everything should be fine. > > 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? > This time however I think this is a legitimate question :-) Riemann supports SSL but there's nothing mentioned in the plugin doc - https://collectd.org/documentation/manpages/collectd.conf.5.shtml#plugin_write_riemann - that would lead to believe we can use it. There's no SSL/TLS option. Is this planned at some time? This is very useful when Collectd and Riemann are not installed on the same server. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly, it's just selective about who its friends are.
