ImportError: No module named requests about collectd-plex HOT 11 CLOSED

This script uses the Requests module, which is not included in the Python Standard Library. You should be able to install the python-requests package to solve this, or use your Python module implementation of choice (i.e. pip, virtualenc, etc).

Great, thanks for the point in the right direction. I installed requests==2.6.0; collectd service starts as expected but another error was identified:

Nov 30 18:26:39 dionysus polkitd[988]: Unregistered Authentication Agent for unix-process:29633:3476515 (system bus name :1.195, object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus)

Can you help with this?

Collectd is running on the same box as Plex. I used the get_auth_token.py script to obtain the auth token.

See attached for config:

What happens if you try to telnet 192.168.1.204 32400 from that same box?

from collectd-plex.

# telnet 192.168.1.204 32400
Trying 192.168.1.204...

Ok, so it's connecting ok. Try running the script directly instead of through CollectD and see if it fails there. It should give better info.

[root@dionysus collectd-plex]# python plex.py --movies 192.168.1.204 32400 *************
{'plugin_instance': u'******Server', 'type_instance': 'movies-1', 'full_name': 'plex-******Server.movies-1.value', 'value': 1779}

Ahah, so that's working fine. Not sure where the connection refused is coming from. Perhaps the script is having trouble connecting to CollectD to deliver metrics?

from collectd-plex.

Looks like SELinux was causing the issues. Running setenforce 0 changed the mode to permissive, which allowed the script to run as expected.

Thank you for all your help -- awesome plugin.

Rock on!
