write_graphite plugin: send to localhost:2004 (tcp) failed with status -1 (Broken pipe)

Asked by Peter Boguszewski

How do I get pickle data into graphite? I have non-pickle data going to port 2003 and showing up with no issues. I have carbon listening (can connect via telnet) on port 2004. I have firewall open. I am having issues...

This is my collectd.conf to send port 2004 to graphite (the port 2003 works):

<Plugin "write_graphite">
       <Carbon>
               Host "localhost"
               Port "2003"
               Prefix "collectd."
               #Postfix ""
               #Protocol "udp"
               EscapeCharacter "_"
               SeparateInstances true
               StoreRates false
               AlwaysAppendDS false
       </Carbon>
       <Carbon>
               Host "localhost"
               Port "2004"
               Prefix "collectd.pickle."
               #Postfix ""
               #Protocol "udp"
               EscapeCharacter "_"
               SeparateInstances true
               StoreRates false
               AlwaysAppendDS false
       </Carbon>
</Plugin>

I am not even sure how to test sending a message to pickle to see where my issue lies.

Please fix my stupidity! I can provide any information needed to get to the bottom of this.

I'm gonna say this is filed with the wrong project, but.... IIRC the collectd carbon plugin doesn't support outputting pickle, so changing the port in it won't magically also change the protocol.
