Missing configuration file

[juliojsb]

Hi Kamil,

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but it seems in my case collectd is unable to get the configuration file plugins_config.sh

I am getting the following in daemon.log (using Debian 9 OS):

exec plugin: Unable to parse command, ignoring line: "Missing config file!

If i just add in collectd "cd" in the script collectd_cuda.sh to the path where the config file is located everything works:

cd /home/jota/my-scripts/collectd/

Hi @juliojsb,

you are right, there was a relative path bug in my script which prevented the configuration
file from being sourced. I already pushed the updated version which will also check for the
presence of nvidia-smi tool (I'm currently on vacation and had no access to a machine with
a nVidia card -- I tested this on a Vagrant VM, but it was enough to catch some more small
issues :))

PS. You might consider enabling logfile plugin which redirects collectd logs to a separate
file (for example /var/log/collectd.log. This keeps logs cleaner and allows for much easier
debugging.

Best Regards,
Kamil

Great! Looking forward to the new improvements in the script.

I enabled logfile plugin, nice advice. Much clearer for debugging now.

Keep up the good work! ;)
