I have already installed luci-app-statistics but clicking on statistics > graphs ends up with this
my collected config.
OpenWrt 23.05.0 r23497-6637af95aa / LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch git-23.236.53405-fc638c8
It doesn't say it's broken, it says you have to wait ?
If you go to the 'Output plugins' tab on that settings page, is RRDTool enabled?

Did you enable any General plugins and/or Network plugins?
What does your system log say?

That all looks good.
Taking @WildCarrot's suggestion, I dumped out my last rrdtool restart and here's what you should see when things are working (of course depending on what plugins you have installed and enabled).

Then you should fix the errors...
Well, apparently you have installed mqtt plugin, which is not part of the LuCI statistics.
Please remove it.

I'd just rm /etc/collectd/conf.d/mqtt.conf and restart.

Now you need to fix those errors
issue is how?
Have you considered checking the config file? It's almost as if the error messages are telling you there's a problem with it...

Two alternatives. Load the missing collectd-mod-??? files or remove the related config section from /etc/collectd.conf. After that restart the collectd and luci app statistics, log out and in. I do this all the time when I forget to add the collectd-mod-??? files in new images.

collected is working, but we need to set up mqtt to connect this to Homeassistant.
