collectd-core does not include write_graphite plugin

Asked by ahammond

I'm trying to get collectd to publish information to our graphite / carbon monitoring system. There is a write_graphite plugin available as part of the collectd as of version 5.1 [1]. We're running Ubuntu 12.04 on these servers. It looks like the version of collectd-core is 4.10.1-2.1ubuntu7. I haven't been able to find a PPA that offers a more up-to-date version of collectd. Is there one available?

You could contact one of the PPA maintainers to see if they intend to package the newer version.

You could also report a bug

I've seen PPAs that offer collectd 4.10 on older Ubuntu releases, but none that offer newer collectd. I'll create a bug, I guess.

Can you help with this problem?
