Description of problem: The iptables plugin of collectd doesn't seem to work on RHEL8. I guess this is related to the switch to nftables and its iptables emulation. With a Chain6 specified in the configuration, the plugin fails with an error on each read. # cat /etc/collectd.conf LoadPlugin iptables <Plugin iptables> Chain "filter" "INPUT" "foo" Chain6 "filter" "INPUT" "foo" </Plugin> # collectd -T plugin_load: plugin "iptables" successfully loaded. iptables plugin: ip6tc_init (filter) failed: iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) read-function of plugin `iptables' failed. Error: one or more plugin read callbacks failed. Exiting normally. collectd: Stopping 5 write threads. If I remove the Chain6 line, there is no error, but it doesn't seem to collect any data. The same configuration works on RHEL7. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): collectd-5.9.0-5.el8.x86_64 collectd-iptables-5.9.0-5.el8.x86_64 iptables-libs-1.8.4-6.el8.x86_64 How reproducible: Always
