Description of problem: collectd-postgresql expects postgresql_default.conf to be installed in the /usr/share/collectd/ directory, from which its contents are unconditionally loaded in addition to any user-specified queries. Instead, this file is installed under the %docdir, causing collectd-postgresql to fail at runtime. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): collectd-postgresql-4.10.2-1.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install collectd-postgresql.conf 2. Define a config file which makes use of this plugin. For instance: LoadPlugin "postgresql" <Plugin "postgresql"> <Database "mydb"> Service "mydb" </Database> </Plugin> (the above presuming a "mydb" service present in /etc/pg_service.conf) Actual results: The collectd-postgresql plugin fails to load with the following errors: postgresql: Failed to read default config (/usr/share/collectd/postgresql_default.conf). postgresql: Default config (/usr/share/collectd/postgresql_default.conf) did not define any queries - please check your installation. Expected results: collectd will run its default set of queries against PostgreSQL's internal statistics tables.
