Strange collectd report for entropy

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I am running openwrt 22.03.0 on 2 boards a reapberry pi 3B+ and a FriendlyElec NanoPi R2S. After upgrading to latest release the collectd entropy plugin reports a value of 256 on both boards. In version 21.02 this was always around 3.5K. I have the packages haveged and rng-tools installed. The collectd output looks like this.

Anyone else having this issue and anyone have a fix?

Cheers all

That is expected, the kernel has fundamentally changed how it deals with entropy, it won't really display any value higher than 256 anymore.
