No JSON object could be decoded

[ghost]

I am setting up a box to monitor a ceph cluster. My client config seems to be fine, i am able to run all the commands that these scripts are running inside. But seeing the below errors in collectd log. I am using ubuntu 14.04 with collectd 5.4. Please help me with this issue. Thank you!

Same issue here. Is this project still maintained?

probably also #36 .
I have tried to merge most of the stuff in pull requests and various other stuff lying around in the forks but I still have to test them a bit more.
