unable to get collectd image to write to graphite

[raghavan20]

I am not sure this is the right place to ask for help with images. if not can you please, tell me where to do so?

hi, i am trying to get your collectd image working on a mac. i have got a shell into the image and used envtpl to generate a collectd.conf in /etc/collectd/collectd.conf

also, i was trying to make this image work with another graphite image, 'hopsoft/graphite-statsd' and graphite listens on 2003/tcp so I was trying to modify collectd.conf to specify Protocol as per https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Plugin:Write_Graphite but it does not work as collectd complains Protocol is not a valid configuration.

write_graphite plugin: Invalid configuration option: Protocol
