proxy startup fails

[digitalrinaldo]

When you use the options below to start the influxdb-collectd-proxy an error condition occurs.

bin/proxy --typesdb="./types.db" --database="collectd" --username="" --password=""

2014/09/20 06:10:57 failed to read types.db: open types.db: no such file or directory

The distribution includes typesdb.com, when I change to --typesdb="./typesdb" I get the following

--typesdb="./types.db"

panic: runtime error: index out of range

@digitalrinaldo Firstly thank you for trying influxdb-collectd-proxy.
I guess you've missed types.db file itself.
As the distribution does not contain types.db file, so you need to get one on your own to use --typesdb option.

CollectD uses a type database file, types.db and it contains key-value pairs. You can find it from the default CollectD installation ($COLLECTD_HOME/shared/collectd/types.db).
