transmissionrpc: Unhandled python exception in read callback: AttributeError: No attribute key

[xor-gate]

I tried to install using pip and the plugin will login to transmission, when I set the incorrect username I get a 401 unauthorized inside collectd log. When everything is configured correct then I get this error:

[2015-05-14 09:19:34] Unhandled python exception in read callback: AttributeError: No attribute key

Hope you can reproduce this,
Kind regards

Hello, yes I can reproduce this on a Debian Jessie box with default packages installed. Versions are about the same as yours (collectd is 5.4.1 but it is obviously unrelated). I 'll post an update shortly

Thanks!, probably you also need to update the pip package then for this fix?

[akosiaris]

Yes, working on it already, got sidetracked by fixing a couple of other things on the way

Done. Thanks for reporting this.

No problem, there only seemed to be a few Collectd Transmission RPC plugins and yours is the most extensive. It generates graphs but the collectd/rrd frontend I currently use crashes on the collectd plugin scripts output. I use https://github.com/facette/facette which is a very nice and easy to deploy and configure collectd frontend which has zero dependencies because it is written on GoLang.

Thanks for fixing!
