[collectd] python plugin.

[Dan Dong]

Hi, All,
Could anyone hint me how to install the python plugin of collectd? I
downloaded the collectd-5.4.2.tar.gz but after:
$./configure --prefix=/opt/collectd --enable-python
$sudo make all install

Where can I find the python plugin? Is it supposed to be under:
/opt/collectd/lib/collectd/plugins/python/ ?

But nothing there under /opt/collectd/lib/collectd/plugins/

Cheers,
Dan

Before you compile with --enable-python, make sure the python headers are installed on your system:

apt-get install libpython (debian)
yum install python-devel (redhat)

Then recompile.  Make sure the summary at the end of the configure step says:

    python  . . . . . . . yes

Resulting python plugin shared module will be in:

${prefix}/lib/collectd/python.so

Thanks Giovanni, I could see it already there:
processes . . . . . . yes
protocols . . . . . . yes
python . . . . . . . yes

and
$ ll /opt/collectd/lib/collectd/python*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 288892 Mar 10 15:04
/opt/collectd/lib/collectd/python.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 969 Mar 10 15:04 /opt/collectd/lib/collectd/
python.la
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 188262 Mar 10 15:04
/opt/collectd/lib/collectd/python.so

Just confused by misleading info from the web that the lib should be under:
/opt/collectd/lib/collectd/plugins/python/

Cheers,
Dan

You should be looking for /opt/collectd/lib/collectd/python.so.

After running ./configure, a summary is printed out which should tell
you which plugins won't be built and why not.

Maybe the configure script can't figure out where python is located on
your system ? Try adding --with-python=/path/to/python to ./configure in
this case.

Thanks Marc, it is fixed now, yes, the plugin is exactly under
/opt/collectd/lib/collectd
A default configure without any options will be enough to generate the
python.so

Cheers,
Dan
