31 Collectd::Unixsock - Abstraction layer for accessing the functionality by
32 collectd's unixsock plugin.
36 use Collectd::Unixsock;

40 my $value = $sock->getval (%identifier);
41 $sock->putval (%identifier,
43 values => [123, 234, 345]);
49 collectd's unixsock plugin allows external programs to access the values it has
50 collected or received and to submit own values. This Perl-module is simply a
51 little abstraction layer over this interface to make it even easier for
52 programmers to interact with the daemon.

82 =head1 VALUE IDENTIFIERS
84 The values in the collectd are identified using a five-tuple (host, plugin,
85 plugin-instance, type, type-instance) where only plugin instance and type
86 instance may be undef. Many functions expect an I<%identifier> hash that has at
87 least the members B<host>, B<plugin>, and B<type>, possibly completed by
88 B<plugin_instance> and B<type_instance>.
90 Usually you can pass this hash as follows:
92 $self->method (host => $host, plugin => $plugin, type => $type, %other_args);
96 sub _create_identifier
99 my ($host, $plugin, $type);
101 if (!$args->{host} || !$args->{plugin} || !$args->{type})
103 cluck ("Need `host', `plugin' and `type'");
107 $host = $args->{host};
108 $plugin = $args->{plugin};
109 $plugin .= '-' . $args->{plugin_instance} if defined $args->{plugin_instance};
110 $type = $args->{type};
111 $type .= '-' . $args->{type_instance} if defined $args->{type_instance};
113 return "$host/$plugin/$type";

132 $ident->{plugin_instance} = $plugin_instance if defined $plugin_instance;
133 $ident->{type_instance} = $type_instance if defined $type_instance;
136 } # _parse_identifier
142 return $arg if $arg =~ /^\w+$/;

150 # Return a single line of result.

157 my $identifier = _create_identifier ($args) or return;

197 =head1 PUBLIC METHODS
201 =item I<$self> = Collectd::Unixsock->B<new> ([I<$path>]);
203 Creates a new connection to the daemon. The optional I<$path> argument gives
204 the path to the UNIX socket of the C<unixsock plugin> and defaults to
205 F</var/run/collectd-unixsock>. Returns the newly created object on success and
213 my $path = shift || '/var/run/collectd-unixsock';
214 my $sock = _create_socket ($path) or return;
223 =item I<$res> = I<$self>-E<gt>B<getval> (I<%identifier>);
225 Requests a value-list from the daemon. On success a hash-ref is returned with
226 the name of each data-source as the key and the according value as, well, the
227 value. On error false is returned.
237 my $msg = $self->_socket_command('GETVAL', \%args) or return;
238 $self->_socket_chat($msg, sub {
241 /^(\w+)=NaN$/ and $ret->{$1} = undef, return;
242 /^(\w+)=(.*)$/ and looks_like_number($2) and $ret->{$1} = 0 + $2, return;
248 =item I<$res> = I<$self>-E<gt>B<getthreshold> (I<%identifier>);
250 Requests a threshold from the daemon. On success a hash-ref is returned with
251 the threshold data. On error false is returned.
255 sub getthreshold # {{{
261 my $msg = $self->_socket_command('GETTHRESHOLD', \%args) or return;
262 $self->_socket_chat($msg, sub {
266 ( $key, $val ) = /^\s*([^:]+):\s*(.*)/ and do {
273 } # }}} sub getthreshold
275 =item I<$self>-E<gt>B<putval> (I<%identifier>, B<time> =E<gt> I<$time>, B<values> =E<gt> [...]);
277 Submits a value-list to the daemon. If the B<time> argument is omitted
278 C<time()> is used. The required argument B<values> is a reference to an array
279 of values that is to be submitted. The number of values must match the number
280 of values expected for the given B<type> (see L<VALUE IDENTIFIERS>), though
281 this is checked by the daemon, not the Perl module. Also, gauge data-sources
282 (e.E<nbsp>g. system-load) may be C<undef>. Returns true upon success and false

347 =item I<$res> = I<$self>-E<gt>B<listval_filter> ( C<%identifier> )
349 Queries a list of values from the daemon while restricting the results to
350 certain hosts, plugins etc. The argument may be anything that passes for an
351 identifier (cf. L<VALUE IDENTIFIERS>), although all fields are optional.
352 The returned data is in the same format as from C<listval>.

394 } # for (i = 0 .. $status)
399 =item I<$res> = I<$self>-E<gt>B<listval> ()
401 Queries a list of values from the daemon. The list is returned as an array of
402 hash references, where each hash reference is a valid identifier. The C<time>
403 member of each hash holds the epoch value of the last update of that value.

443 Submits a notification to the daemon.
451 Sets the severity of the notification. The value must be one of the following
452 strings: C<failure>, C<warning>, or C<okay>. Case does not matter. This option
457 Sets the message of the notification. This option is mandatory.
461 Sets the time. If omitted, C<time()> is used.
463 =item I<Value identifier>
465 All the other fields of the value identifiers, B<host>, B<plugin>,
466 B<plugin_instance>, B<type>, and B<type_instance>, are optional. When given,
467 the notification is associated with the performance data of that identifier.
468 For more details, please see L<collectd-unixsock(5)>.

532 If this option is specified, only the selected plugins will be flushed. The
533 argument is a reference to an array of strings.
537 If this option is specified, only the given identifier(s) will be flushed. The
538 argument is a reference to an array of identifiers. Identifiers, in this case,
