Can you give the output of collectd -h

from puppet-collectd.

On the node it doesn't work on, collectd isn't installed as I am under the impression this module installs it.

On working nodes:

Usage: collectd [OPTIONS]

Available options:
  General:
    -C <file>       Configuration file.
                    Default: /etc/collectd.conf
    -t              Test config and exit.
    -T              Test plugin read and exit.
    -P <file>       PID-file.
                    Default: /var/run/collectd.pid
    -f              Don't fork to the background.
    -h              Display help (this message)

Builtin defaults:
  Config file       /etc/collectd.conf
  PID file          /var/run/collectd.pid
  Plugin directory  /usr/lib64/collectd
  Data directory    /var/lib/collectd

Are you using a PPA for the other machines? #86 might solve you issue.

I use locally mirrored centos, epel and ius repos. Will see if the ticket helps any, but based on a quick review I don't think it will. Thanks though.

If you have the same puppet/facter/ruby versions on other machines then I'm quite baffled by the error. Are you sure there isn't something wrong with the environment?

My solaris hosts are having the same issue now.......

from puppet-collectd.

I've narrowed it down to this

# Leave this commented to reproduce the bug
# $collectd_version = '4.8'
$out = inline_template("<%= (scope.function_versioncmp([@collectd_version, '4.7'])) >= 0 %>")
notify { $out: }

versioncmp doesn't handle a null case
