collectd: Plugin write_http can't be loaded

Package Name

collectd

Maintainer

OpenWrt Version

24.10.4

OpenWrt Target/Subtarget

ipq40xx/mikrotik

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure the write_http plugin:

config plugin write_http
  option enable '1'

config write_http_node
  option name "collectd_exporter"
  option URL "https://collectd.example.com"
  option Format "JSON"
  option User 'COLLECTD_USER'
  option Password 'COLLECTD_PASSWORD'

3. Restart the collectd service
4. In the logs, the message Configuration definition file for write_http not found appears
5. The plugin write_http isn't loaded

Actual Behaviour

There seems to be a typo in the collectd plugin write-http. The collectd service looks for the file /usr/share/collectd/plugin/write_http.json (because in the config file the plugin is named write_http with an underscore), but this file doesn't exist. There is a file named write-http.json (with a dash) though.

I could fix the issue by renaming that file to /usr/share/collectd/plugin/write_http.json

I don't know why this file was renamed, but from what I can see it was done in commit https://github.com/openwrt/packages/commit/beb0de663c112ecb439fa30c4bd4aad73add2b6a (maybe @hnyman knows better?)
