I have installed Collectd software using the RPM in my RHEL7 Linux VM. I am able to start the Collectd.
In the configuration file of Collectd, there is a ORACLE plugin as well. I have installed ORACLE DB in the same VM to collect data from Collectd. ORACLE_HOME environment variable is also set.
Now when I activate the ORACLE plugin, Collectd does not start up and throws an error. When I have the plugin disabled in the configuration file, it is starting up perfectly.
As I need to fecth data from the ORACLE DB, how can I fix this problem, please help me here.
I am adding the Error description since the whole error cannot be given in the comments sections:-
