Strange error when loading collectd

[danfinn]

I added mongodb.py to my collectd.conf file as shown here and it actually appears to be working but I am a bit concerned about this error I get when starting collectd. I did install mogodb.py in a different location than the one in the example, it's at /etc/collectd.d/mongodb.py. Here's the error:

[root@mongo6 collectd]# /etc/init.d/collectd restart
Stopping collectd: [ OK ]
Starting collectd: Parse error in file /etc/collectd.d/mongodb.py', line 1301 near': syntax error, unexpected EOL
yyparse returned error #1

.():():.=.=.=.=[,].=.=.=.=.=.=(,,,,=)::='%-%'%(.,):=(.)=.()[ OK ]=.=[,].()():=(=.,=.,=)=[.[]]..:.(.,.)=.('')=['']=()

So you can see that it starts and it does appear to be working as I have stats (that I don't quite trust because of the error) in graphite. Any ideas what's going on here?

after letting it run for a while and checking graphite it seems like most of the stats are 0 so it's not working so well

Are you sure that /etc/collectd.d/mongodb.py was a valid python file?
