influxdb collectd no data

[saket424]

I am running openwrt 21.02.5 and followed the steps documented in the grafana-influxdb section but i saw no data

# export INFLUXDB_ADDRESS=192.168.16.4
# uci batch <<EOF
set luci_statistics.influxdb=collectd_network_server
set luci_statistics.influxdb.port='25826'
set luci_statistics.influxdb.host="${INFLUXDB_ADDRESS}"
EOF
# uci commit
# /etc/init.d/luci_statistics restart

I investigated a bit and I had to add the following snippet to /tmp/collectd.conf and restart it before the data started appearing on the grafana dashboard

LoadPlugin network
<Plugin network>
        Server "192.168.16.4" "25826"
        CacheFlush 86400
        Forward false
</Plugin>

I have the following packages installed

root@openwrt:/etc/config# opkg list-installed | grep collectd

Probably they reshuffled the directory structure in openwrt 21.02.5
