Configuration file for collection.cgi

Hi,

when I downloaded version 4.0 of collectd, I'v been register change in cgi script contrib/collection.cgi
- it requires configuration file, but I cannot find an example everywhere.

Can you send me some info about /etc/collection.conf syntax, or an example-file?

Thank you very much.

Robert.

An example might look like this:

  datadir: "/var/lib/collectd/rrd/"
  libdir: "/usr/lib/collectd/

Cheers,
Sebastian

[PATCH] its/it's in documentation

Version 4.0.1 available.

Hi everybody,

as expected it didn't take long for the first bug to turn up: When
passing a comment name to the `Chain' option of the iptables-plugin the
daemon would crash.

Of course, the typos reported by Evan and Sebastian have been fixed,
too. Thank you for reporting them :)

Regards,

    Hello Florian!
    Thank you very much for new 'collectd' version with much more new
useful plugins. After i compiled and installed collectd-4.0.0 i see
follow messages in /var/log/messages:

    I attached my config file.
    And yet one. I edit one string in 'collection.cgi':

our $Config = "/usr/local/etc/collectd.conf";

    but when i enter in browser on 'collection.cgi' url i don't see  
anything.
    This is source html code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"

       }
     </style>
   </head>

   <body>
<ul>
</ul>
   </body>
</html>

      and string from 'apache' log:

      May be you can help me with discover these stranges?
      'collectd-3.11.3' works very well.
      With best wishes,
      Alex

I apparently your CPU doesn't have any speed-stepping feature (or
something like that). If you don't load the plugin, you won't get this
message..

> Jun  7 15:16:41 backup-srv collectd[29928]: email: No such group: `collectd'

If collectd is run as root, is does a `chgrp' after creating the UNIX
domain socket, so unprivileged processes may access it. Configure a
group that exists here and you'll be fine.

Ugh, that's not good.. The number in the configfile is parsed as a
floating point number which is an illegal port (/service). Since you're
using the default port just comment that line. I'll fix this in the next
patch release.

> Jun  7 15:16:41 backup-srv collectd[29928]: unixsock plugin: bind failed: Address already in use

Apparently `/usr/local/stow/collectd-4.0.0/var/run/collectd-unixsock'
still exists. Did the daemon crash before or something? Normally the
file should be removed during shutdown.

Same problem as above.

Do you get any warnings/errors in the servers error-log?
