Unable to activate write_http collectd plugin

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • We were asked from the monitoring to activate the write_http collect plugin.

  • We added the following lines to our already working collectd configuration:

   CollectdExtraPlugins:
     - write_http
  ExtraConfig:
    collectd::plugin::write_http::nodes: "example" 
    collectd::plugin::write_http::urls: "http://netcoolbddlab01.oss.timbrasil.com.br"
  • However, when collectd container tries to start we see the following error in the logs:
[2020-01-24 13:33:37] plugin_load: Could not find plugin "write_http" in /usr/lib64/collectd
  • We have check and the rpm packet collectd-write_http-5.8.1-4.el7ost.x86_64 is installed in the servers:
