Description:
The wireless plugin installed by package collectd-mod-wireless fails to start, with this error appearing in logread:
Sun May 7 22:04:10 2023 user.notice collectd[21597]: Configuration definition file for wireless not found
I was able to solve this by creating /usr/share/collectd/plugin/wireless.json (which was missing) with an empty JSON object inside, but I don't know if there are actually any configuration options available for this package:
{
}
For what it's worth: I actually noticed that collectd-mod-iwinfo returns similar information for me, so I uninstalled this plugin.
