Sounds like a valid enhancement to me. I did a quick scan of the receiver and didn't see any log messages that describe this information. Removing needs triage.

[atoulme]

Sure, would you like to offer a patch?

@atoulme @crobert-1 Can I take this up ?

[kernelpanic77]

@atoulme @crobert-1 Can we discuss this issue in the weekly SIG ?

[crobert-1]

Do you have a specific question or problem you're wanting to discuss?

[kernelpanic77]

@crobert-1 I am a bit unsure if understood the problem correctly. From what I understood only the ServeHTTP method of the collectdReceiver struct has to be changed to add the debug logs for Host and Port.

Collectd shall report as loaded receiver plugin

Also, @atoulme @crobert-1 Could you also explain this requirement in a little more detail ?

[atoulme]

FWIW you can always come to a SIG meeting and ask any question. In this instance, it feels like something we can resolve over Github.

Yes, I believe you are correct, just need to add a bit of logging in that method.

Sure @atoulme

I am not sure if I understood this sentence correctly. Could you explain this part ?

Just that the receiver started ok. As in, it reports in debug in the Start method that it started.
